We have rigged the latest election. 93.5 per cent have voted for Lukashenko. But they say it is not a European outcome. We have made it 86 per cent.

I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.

Ignorance ain't not knowin' stuff; ignorance is knowin' stuff that AIN'T TRUE.

The history of literature is the history of the human mind.
