Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“And in general, may I be so bold as to offer you some advice, Margarita Nikolayevna, never ever be afraid of anything. That’s unwise. The ball will be lavish, that I won’t try to hide from you. We’ll see some people that wielded power in their day. But, truly, when one thinks how microscopically small their resources are compared with the resources of the one in whose retinue I have the honor, then it becomes ridiculous and, I would even say pathetic….And besides you yourself are of royal blood.”

“The Master and Margarita”, Mikhail Bulgakov, 1966.
