You see where the truth is and where the untruth is, but I’ve definitely lost my sight, I don’t see anything. You boldly resolve all important issues, but tell me, my dear, is it because you are young, that you have not had time to suffer through any of your questions? You boldly look forward, and is it because you don’t see or expect anything terrible, since life is still hidden from your young eyes?

She loves you, you like her, and I don’t know, I don’t know why you definitely avoid each other. I don't understand!

I developed person, I read various wonderful books, but I just can’t understand the direction of what I actually want, whether I should live or shoot myself, strictly speaking, but nevertheless I always carry a revolver with me.

Humanity moves forward, improving its strength. Everything that is out of reach for him now will someday become close and understandable, but he must work and help with all his might those who are seeking the truth.

Everyone is serious, everyone has stern faces, everyone talks only about important things, philosophizes, and meanwhile, in front of everyone, the workers eat disgustingly, sleep without pillows, thirty, forty in one room, there are bedbugs everywhere, stench, dampness, moral uncleanness... And, obviously, all the good conversations we have are just to avert the eyes of ourselves and others.

These smart guys are all so stupid that there is no one to talk to.

You boldly resolve all important issues, but tell me, my dear, is it because you are young, that you have not had time to suffer through any of your questions? You boldly look forward, and is it because you don’t see or expect anything terrible, since life is still hidden from your young eyes?

I don’t have a real passport, I don’t know how old I am, and it still seems to me that I’m young.

Charlotte

And my soul and yours have no common points of contact.

Every ugliness has its decency.

And what does it mean to die? Perhaps a person has a hundred feelings, and with death only five known to us perish, while the last ninety-five remain alive.

... You got into the flock, don’t bark, just wag your tail.

If a lot of remedies are offered against a disease, this means that the disease is incurable.

And what is there to hide or remain silent about, I love him, that’s clear. I love, I love... This is a stone on my neck, I am going to the bottom with it, but I love this stone and cannot live without it.

...........................................
Copyright: WOE FROM MIND: aphorisms quotes

“Woe from Wit” by Alexander Griboedov is the most unique work by the number of catchphrases. Many began to live separately. People who use them in speech often have no idea that they are quoting classic lines of literature.

Idioms from the comedy “Woe from Wit” you can often hear in a speech the meaning in which they were pronounced by the hero of the text. What has changed over the eras?

Most quoted expressions

"Happy hours don't watch". The phrase is uttered by Sofya Pavlovna, explaining to the maid how quickly the nights pass next to her beloved. The expression has not changed its interpretation. It characterizes the state of people who are passionate about each other. For them, time fades into the background, leaving room only for feelings. Lovers are overwhelmed with delight from communication, meetings and positive emotions. They cannot and do not want to keep track of time.

“The mind and heart are not in harmony”. Chatsky pronounces the phrase. He explains his condition with her. The lover's heart does not hear the mind. A person is not able to analyze what is happening around him, does not notice deception and deceitful actions. Blinded by feelings, he does not hear the truth in speech. Misleads himself, which subsequently becomes a fatal mistake. IN modern life expression finds a place not only in the emotional sphere, describing feelings of mutual affection. The mind does not help those blinded by their luck in business or gambling.

"The hero is not my novel". Sofya Pavlovna used the phrase to explain that one of the suitors for her hand could not be her lover. Today, the expression makes it possible to remove from the gentlemen those who cannot become a groom by individual choice and preferences of either gender.

“I’d be glad to serve, but it’s sickening to be served”. In Chatsky’s speech, the word serve has a direct meaning. IN modern world the expression is much more widely used. Serving becomes synonymous with working. Many people want to find a profession in which they do not have to follow the instructions of the upper levels of government in order to advance through the ranks. career ladder. Most people want their knowledge, skills and experience to be appreciated.

“Day after day, today is like yesterday”. This is how Alexey Molchalin describes his life. This is how contemporaries characterize life if they leave it interesting events, there remains one routine that is repeated every day. A state of hopelessness is heard behind the words, melancholy and despondency. I want to get out of this state as quickly as possible.



“Pass us beyond all sorrows. And lordly anger, and lordly love". The phrase is put into the mouth of the maid Lisa. The girl understands the danger of both love and disfavor. I want to avoid unnecessary care, anger and hostility. Any feeling on the part of those in power, superiors and managers often ends negatively for the employee. That is why I want bright manifestations on their part to be bypassed.

“Whoever is destined, sir, cannot escape fate”. Wise words says Lisa. Faith in destiny and fate did not disappear among contemporaries. An event that happens in life, often negative, impossible to explain, is reduced to the manifestation of forces from above. Fate is responsible for everything.

“Whoever is poor is not a match for you”. Sofia's father's speech clearly delineated his daughter's ability to choose her future husband. It would seem that the age of division between rich and poor has passed. But in fact, the status situation not only remains, but is considered one of the main reasons for divorces and failed marriages. The expression continues to live, expanding its meaning. Any social status, separating lovers, can be explained by a popular expression.

“Who are the judges?”. Chatsky’s words still ring today. Condemning people who do not have the right to do so occurs so often that the expression is considered one of the most popular. The word judge is not used in its literal meaning; it characterizes any person trying to present his opinion, often erroneous, as a standard.

Catchphrases and aphorisms from the comedy “Woe from Wit,” describing the life of landowners and their servants during serfdom, find their place in the modern world. Moreover, in most cases, the meaning of catchphrases has become broader.

Today we will talk about the famous tragicomedy in verse “Woe from Wit” by Alexander Griboyedov, the catchphrases (aphorisms) from which are heard by everyone. Most people have no idea where the common phrases they use so often come from. It's time to figure out what makes this play so special.

A few words about the work itself and the plot

It was the satirical play “Woe from Wit” that instantly made its author, A.O. Griboyedov, a classic of literature. Written in 1822-1824, first published in full in 1862, this comedy in verse proved that colloquial occurs in high literature.

By the way, the playwright managed to break another rule - the trinity of place, time and action. In “Woe from Wit” only the first two (place and time) are observed, and the action is divided into two parts: Chatsky’s feelings for Sophia and his confrontation with the Moscow high society.

The plot is simple. Alexander Chatsky, a young nobleman, grew up with Sofia Famusova. They spent their entire childhood with each other and always loved each other. But then the young man leaves for 3 years and doesn’t even write letters. Sophia is upset, but soon finds a replacement for her failed groom.

When Alexander Chatsky returns to Moscow with the firm intention of marrying the love of his life, a surprise awaits him: Sophia is infatuated with Alexei Molchalin, her father’s secretary. Chatsky despises Molchalin for his veneration and servility and does not understand how such a pitiful person could win Sophia’s heart.

Because of bold speeches ex-lover Sophia, irritated by the situation, gives rise to gossip that Chatsky is out of his mind. The completely disgruntled young man leaves Moscow with the intention of never returning.

It was precisely the protest of the individual, free from conventions, who rebelled against the rotten Russian reality, and is the main idea of ​​the tragicomedy.

When Alexander Pushkin suggested that “Woe from Wit” would be scattered into quotations, he looked at nothing. Very soon the play became a national treasure, and often we don’t even suspect that we are speaking in the words of Griboedov’s characters. The phrase “woe from mind” came into use precisely because of this play.

“Woe from Wit”: popular expressions of the action of the first

You can quote a work from the very first words. For example, the phrase of the maid Lisa “pass us away from all sorrows and master’s anger and master’s love” is worth something.

The favorite saying of lovers (especially late ladies) also appears here for the first time. In a conversation with Lisa, Sophia says, looking out the window: “Happy people don’t watch the clock.”

In high society after the Napoleonic wars, the fashion for the French language reigned for a long time. But few people had even an average command of it. This is exactly what Chatsky ridicules when he talks about mixing French with Nizhny Novgorod.

When Chatsky almost at the very beginning explains himself to his beloved, he tells her that his “mind and heart are not in harmony.”

Aphorisms from the work “Woe from Wit” also include the common expression “it’s good where we are not.” This is how Chatsky answers Sofya when she asks him about travel.

When Mr. Famusov caught Molchalin near the door of his daughter’s room, Sophia tries to find an excuse for her lover: since he lives in their house, he “went into a room and ended up in another.” It happens to everyone...

Catchphrases from act two

In this part of the work, many stunning expressions belong to Chatsky. Who has never heard or used the expression “the legend is fresh, but hard to believe”?

“I’d be glad to serve, but it’s sickening to be served,” says the same Chatsky, who cannot stomach the servility in Mochalin’s behavior.

“The houses are new, but the prejudices are old,” he states with bile and sadness.

Many aphorisms from the work “Woe from Wit” belong to Sophia’s father, Mr. Famusov, who personifies the rotten Moscow society. “Everyone from Moscow has a special imprint,” he says, and he’s right about that.

The phrase “with me, strangers’ employees are very rare; more and more sister, sister-in-law, children,” uttered by this character, has not lost its relevance to this day.

Colonel Skalozub, talking about Moscow, characterizes the city with the phrase “distances of enormous size.” This catchphrase has taken root with a small amendment, and now you can often hear in everyday life “a huge distance.”

Quotes from Act Three

“Woe from Wit,” a catchphrase from which everyone does not want to come to an end, takes up a lot of space in this action.

It is Chatsky who owns the expression “a million torments,” as well as the sarcastic “you won’t get well from such praise.”

When Chatsky asks Mr. Famusov about the news, he replies that everything is going “day after day, tomorrow is like yesterday,” that is, everything is unchanged.

In “Woe from Wit” there are catchphrases about fashion as well. Having arrived and seeing the invasion of fashion for everything French, Chatsky says that dressing inappropriately for the weather, “in spite of reason, in defiance of the elements” is very unwise, and ridicules this “slavish, blind imitation.”

Common expressions from act four

Aphorisms from the work “Woe from Wit” are concentrated in the last act. For example, when Chatsky, upset and indignant, decides to leave Moscow, poisoned by prejudices and gossip, forever. The young nobleman declares that he no longer travels to the capital, and shouts: “The carriage for me! The carriage!”

The aphorisms from the work “Woe from Wit” can be continued with such an expression as “What a word is a sentence!”, which the author put into Famusov’s mouth. It is this character who also owns the final phrase, which conveys all the rottenness high society: “What will Princess Marya Aleksevna say?”, she entered the colloquial language as “What will Marya Aleksevna say?”

As you can see, aphorisms, catchphrases and expressions in the comedy “Woe from Wit” are found at every step, or rather, in almost every line. The list we have given is far away. You can discover a lot of new things by reading this short work.

Comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824)- satire on the aristocratic Moscow society of the first half of the 19th century century - one of the pinnacles of Russian drama and poetry. The brilliant aphoristic style of the comedy contributed to the fact that it was all “spread out into quotes” and served as the source of numerous winged words and expressions.
“Never has any people been so scourged, never has any country been dragged so much in the mud, never has so much rude abuse been thrown into the public’s face, and yet never has more complete success been achieved” (P. Chaadaev. “Apology of a Madman” ).
Many phrases from the play, including its title, became catchphrases. Pushkin’s prediction about this work came true: “Half of the verses should become proverbs.”

Which ones should we take as models?

They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,
Magnificent building chambers,
Where they spill out in feasts and extravagance,
And where foreign clients will not be resurrected
The meanest features of the past life.
And who in Moscow didn’t have their mouths covered?
Lunches, dinners and dances?
Chatsky
