“No matter how you try to EN masse people to the theater,
whatever you call art theater public, –
after all, it remains and will be an elite art”
...That the same people live without the theatre
...as without brakes lives asshole
...how do the villagers live without Montmartre
...or without a Volkswagen-poor man.
Without theater you can eat a lot,
you can fly on the Internet…
But!.. Your soul without theater
you can lift it a little off the ground.*
Without art, what are you better than ...rats?..
Without Rembrandt, are you a person?!
So, without the theater, you're all bald! –
in the imaginative thinking of the soul.
And as long as you think of yourself as a human being, –
be always with art near! Think.

* In the 80 - ies of the last century, after one of the visiting performances of our theater, which is rare had to play in the Assembly hall of vocational school (vocational and technical school or simply - "Bursa"), during which students (or rather – students) behaved simply out of the ordinary defiantly-the Director of the school pathetically justified and apologized to our Director like this: "you forgive them and do not take offense at them. Please. You see, they have souls!.. There is! And they even fly ...Yes... But you see ...it's very low-low." He pointed just above the plinth. The Director listened to Director Bursa with forced attention and understanding.
