The thoughts of Yeghishe Charents
Oh, Armenian people, your only salvation lies in the power of your unity.
Oh, the world of books is an endless universe.
On every road you pass, say: this is different already.
Poetry is also a fight, so what... The writer must write and express himself in every way.
If my enemies like what I have done, it means I have made a mistake.
The sense of the beautiful is part of the writer's talent.. Without it, there is no real writer.
The textbook develops the student's taste, develops love for language, style, understanding of beauty. The student should be absorbed by the content, fascinated by the idea, but should also understand the image, be amazed by the unexpected, well-chosen comparison.
I haven't written anything myself and I don't write for children because they consider it a SERIOUS thing that requires special work and time. If ever I am free from current work, I will try to write.
The emotion is an emotion, but the character's thinking should also be vividly presented from the stage. Each character, from the genius to the miserable creature, must be seen on the stage as well, as they say, in intellectual dimensions.
No matter how small a nation and its literature are, the latter cannot have an original, unique and unrepeatable nuance, which is specific only to this literature and its best representatives... As an example, I take Armenian poetry, its past and present.
