About me

"A critic is someone who comes onto the battlefield after the battle is over and shoots the wounded."

Favorite quote

“A man writes because he is tormented, because he doubts. He needs to constantly prove to himself and the others that he's worth something. And if I know for sure that I'm a genius? Why write then? What the hell for?” (Writer, Stalker, 1979, Andrei Tarkovsky.)
