To Little Olesya—wherever you are.

How strange it is, how inexpressibly strange, that behind this wall, behind this very wall, a man is sitting on the floor, stretching out his long legs in orange boots, an expression of malice on his face.

We need only drill a hole in the wall and look through it and immediately we would see this mean-spirited man sitting there.

But we shouldn't think about him. What is he anyway? Is he not after all a portion of death in life, materialized out of our own conception of emptiness?

― Daniil Kharms, Russian Absurd: Selected Writings

"He's the strongest man in the world."

"Man, yes," said Pippi, "but I am the strongest girl in the world, remember that."

― Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Longstocking
