And at that very instant I felt as though I’d fallen through something. Suddenly I felt as though I were on the bottom of an aquarium. Everything swayed, swam away, there were glittering patches of light. And then everything disappeared.” –Sergei Doylatov (The Compromise) • Quote: “Is the vodka?” Margarita asked weakly. The cat jumped up from its chair in indignation. “Excuse me majesty,” he squeaked, “do you think I would give vodka to a lady? That is pure spirit!”—Mikhail Bulgakov (The Master and Margarita)
