Ranevskaya not only captivated the audience with an amazing game, living each of her roles, but also became famous for her wit. Quotes and sayings of the great Ranevskaya, as well as the memory of the legendary artist, will live forever.

We decided to recall the most famous and best aphorisms of Faina Georgievna on the topic of the day.

Many statements by Faina Ranevskaya relate to love and relationships between a man and a woman in general. The actress devoted her whole life to the theater, never getting married. The legend of Soviet cinema did not have children either.

Faina Ranevskaya's quotes and aphorisms very clearly reflect self-sufficiency and, at the same time, a deep inner feeling of loneliness that haunted her until the end of her days.

In her youth, the actress was in love with an actor with whom she happened to play in the same troupe. One day the actor decided to visit her in the evening. Faina Georgievna told how she was waiting for this moment, choosing an outfit, setting the table to impress her lover.

As a result, the man burst into the apartment drunk and with another woman. From that moment on, the actress hated all men and gave all the love she was capable of to the game.

Faina Ranevskaya's quotes are literally permeated with this attitude. She often repeated that “the brain has a soul mate, well ... and pills,” and she herself, “initially whole,” urged other women not to be dependent on relationships and to know their own worth.

Or this aphorism:

Remembering the sayings of Faina Ranevskaya, you immediately understand that this amazing woman was madly in love with Life itself, with all its unpredictable turns, disappointments and joys.
