famous statements by writers on all sorts of topics...
The collection includes quotes from great writers:
The Russian language is rightfully considered one of the richest languages in the world. Our selection of quotes includes statements and reflections of the great Russian classics of literature about the originality and greatness of the Russian language.
A.I.Kuprin
Russian language! For millennia, the people created this flexible, lush, inexhaustibly rich, intelligent poetic... instrument of their social life, their thoughts, their feelings, their hopes, their anger, their great future... With a wondrous ligature the people wove the invisible network of the Russian language: bright, like a rainbow after the spring rain, accurate as arrows, sincere, like a song over a cradle, melodious... The dense world, over which he threw the magic net of words, submitted to him like a bridled horse.
A.N. Tolstoy
Language is the history of a people. Language is the path of civilization and culture. That is why studying and preserving the Russian language is not an idle activity because there is nothing to do, but an urgent necessity.
A.I. Kuprin
In days of doubt, in days of painful thoughts about the fate of my homeland, you alone are my support and support, oh great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language! Without you, how can one not fall into despair at the sight of everything that is happening at home? But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!
I.S. Turgenev
The Russian language in skillful hands and experienced lips is beautiful, melodious, expressive, flexible, obedient, dexterous and capacious.
A.I.Kuprin
Take care of our language, our beautiful Russian language is a treasure, this is an asset passed on to us by our predecessors! Handle this powerful tool with respect; in skillful hands it is capable of performing miracles.

K.G. Paustovsky
The Russian language is inexhaustibly rich, and everything is enriched with amazing speed.

You marvel at the preciousness of our language: every sound is a gift; everything is grainy, large, like the pearl itself, and truly, another name is more precious than the thing itself.
N.V. Gogol
There is no word that would be so sweeping, lively, would burst out from under the very heart, would seethe and vibrate so vividly, like a well-spoken Russian word.
N.V. Gogol
May there be honor and glory to our language, which in its very native richness, almost without any foreign admixture, flows like a proud majestic river - it makes noise and thunders - and suddenly, if necessary, softens, gurgles like a gentle brook and sweetly pours into the soul, forming everything measures that consist only in the fall and rise of the human voice!
N.M. Karamzin
Our beautiful language, under the pen of unlearned and unskilled writers, is quickly declining. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates. Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes at the will of one and all.
A.S. Pushkin
Pushkin also spoke about punctuation marks. They exist to highlight a thought, bring words into the correct relationship, and give a phrase ease and proper sound. Punctuation marks are like musical notations. They hold the text firmly and do not allow it to crumble.

Our Russian language, more than all the new ones, is perhaps capable of approaching the classical languages in its richness, strength, freedom of arrangement, and abundance of forms.
N.A.Dobrolyubov
The main character of our language lies in the extreme ease with which everything is expressed in it - abstract thoughts, internal lyrical feelings, “the scurrying of life,” a cry of indignation, sparkling prank and amazing passion.
A.I. Herzen
Among the magnificent qualities of our language there is one that is absolutely amazing and hardly noticeable. It lies in the fact that its sound is so diverse that it contains the sound of almost all the languages of the world.
K.G. Paustovsky
The natural richness of the Russian language and speech is so great that without further ado, listening to the times with your heart, in close communication with the common man and with a volume of Pushkin in your pocket, you can become an excellent writer.
MM. Prishvin
By the attitude of each person to his language, one can accurately judge not only his cultural level, but also his civic value.
K.G. Paustovsky
To handle the language somehow means to think somehow: approximately, imprecisely, incorrectly.

But what disgusting bureaucratic language! Based on that situation... on the one hand... on the other hand - and all this without any need. “Nevertheless” and “to the extent that” the officials composed. I read and spit.

The greatest wealth of a people is its language! For thousands of years, countless treasures of human thought and experience accumulate and live forever in the word.

The Russian language is quite rich, however, it has its shortcomings, and one of them is hissing sound combinations: -vsha, -vshi, -vshu, -shcha, -shchi.
