- The roof over the whole of Russia has been torn off
- Pasternak, without realizing it, entered the personal life of Stalin
- I have arranged to meet you in a novel
- You are aware of the anti-Soviet nature of the novel?
- Until it is finished, I am a fantastically, manically unfree man
- Not to publish a novel like this would constitute a crime against culture
- If this is freedom seen through Western eyes, well I must say we have a different view of it
- We tore a big hole in the Iron Curtain
- We'll do it black
- He also looks the genius : raw nerves, misfortune, fatality
- There would be no mercy, that was clear
