Faina Ranevskaya - "the Queen of the second plan" - is known not only for her acting activities, but also for statements, many of which we use in everyday life and do not even think about their authorship.
Faina Georgievna did not know the authorities, so his opinion on any account expressed quite aptly, concisely and ironically. She spoke with equal impartiality about both women and men.
A real man is a man who remembers a woman's birthday and never knows how old she is. A man who never remembers a woman's birthday but knows exactly how old she is is her husband.
I think, as to call man, who knows absolutely nothing about female psychology?
— RAM.
- And who understands perfectly?
— Goat.
- Men are like blind moles!
- Why?
- The woman, having made sure that all men are the same, will not change one for another, and the man will continue to poke at each next, like a blind mole, it is unclear what hoping.
Actor N on March 8, saying a toast, heartfelt:
- A man needs a woman to be happy.
Ranevskaya loudly:
— A for full happiness-full woman?
"How many times does a woman blush in her life?" asked Ranevskaya.
- Four times: on the wedding night, the first time he cheats on his husband, the first time he takes money, the first time he gives money.
— And the man?
- Two times: the first time, when not can the second time, the second — when not can the first.
- Men's fashion is poor.
Zavadsky, who loved a good costume:
— What is it?
One hundred years of wear pants are the same length... No imagination.
Faina Georgievna was often ill and was a regular at hospitals. When she was once again lying in the hospital room, she read the works of Cicero.
"You don't often see a woman reading Cicero," said the doctor on duty.
— And man, the reading of Cicero, often will not meet, — said the actress.
