Everyday. Thats a joke. Sometimes I must lie because I dont want to di — T.A.T.u.

"I like everything about Lena, even if she has some little flaws: sometimes she cries and yells at me. You know, I could kill for her!" Yulia Volkova, February 2006, French FHM interview"

"I love her greatly! I can do anything for her but I don’t manage to be always by her side. We need to tour. Should I drag her around with me? She’s in Moscow with nanny now. It’s okay. We have whole life ahead of us." Yulia Volkova, When asked about her Daughter and being a Mother."

"What we have – is not even a friendship, its much more. When people actually live together for ten years, you cant call it just a friendship. I take her more as a relative than a friend" Lena Katina"

"Lesbian image does not disturb us, because we are not lesbians. Yes, we love each other, but I repeat, we are not lesbians. We just show love between two girls, without vulgarities. Our behaviour has been misinterpreted. I have never had a girlfriend and I have never been in a relationship with Yulia. But its true, that meanwhile Yulia had a girlfriend." Lena Katina"

"No. Just friends, not lovers. We never were lovers. We were always really good friends. We are like sisters. Its like, when you meet your friend, you can hug them, give them a kiss? Girls just do it more honestly. We never were lesbians, to be honest." Lena Katina, Interview with Gazeta Izvestiya, September 2005"

"I like everything about Yulia! Nothing wrong there! Shes my friend, my sister. I can call her at 4am and tell her that Im not feeling well, I know shell come over." Lena Katina on being asked what t.A.T.u liked most and least of each other, February 2006, French FHM interview."

"As long as you keep getting born, it’s okay to die sometimes."

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that theres free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

"History is a strange experience. The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts."

"As soon as a thought or word becomes a tool, one can dispense with actually ‘thinking’ it, that is, with going through the logical acts involved in verbal formulation of it. As has been pointed out, often and correctly, the advantage of mathematics—the model of all neo-positivistic thinking—lies in just this ‘intellectual economy.’ Complicated logical operations are carried out without actual performance of the intellectual acts upon which the mathematical and logical symbols are based. … Reason … becomes a fetish, a magic entity that is accepted rather than intellectually experienced."

"Our feminist culture at the present moment is completely dependent on capitalism. My grandmother was still scrubbing clothes on the back porch on a washboard!"

"A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all. (23)"
