What would your good do if evil didn’t exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and from living beings. Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living beings just because of your fantasy of enjoying the naked light?

She had a look of suffering and I was struck less by her beauty than by the extraordinary loneliness in her eyes.

The wicked flat.

302-bis, Sadovaya street, Moscow. This is the very place where the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov worked on his disputable novel “Master and Margarita”. I invite you to walk around this strange flat where the writer lived , the place which he made alive in his novel. I’ve read this book about 15 times in different ages - in youth, being a student, and being a man. Every time this book shows me different flavors and angles. It’s fun to see how my perception changes through these times. This book is my old friend and companion.

“- What would your Good do if there was no Evil? And how the Earth would look like if there were no shadows on it? ”

“Not fooling around, not bothering nobody, just sitting here mending the Primus,“ said the cat with a hostile frown, "and, moreover, I consider it my duty to warn you that the cat is an ancient, inviolable animal.”

But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if evil didn’t exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings. Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You’re stupid.

'Is that vodka?' Margarita asked weakly. The cat jumped up on his chair in resentment. 'Good heavens, Queen,' he croaked, 'would I allow myself to pour vodka for a lady? It’s pure alcohol!'

master and margarita fancast: margarita [eva green]

"The cream spread easily and, as it seemed to Margarita, evaporated at once. Having rubbed several times, Margarita glanced into the mirror and dropped the box right on her watch crystal, which became covered with cracks. Margarita closed her eyes, then glanced once again and burst into stormy laughter.

Her eyebrows, plucked to a thread with tweezers, thickened and lay in even black arches over her greening eyes. The thin vertical crease cutting the bridge of her nose, which had appeared back then, in October, when the master vanished, disappeared without a trace. So did the yellowish shadows at her temples and the two barely noticeable little webs of wrinkles at the outer corners of her eyes. The skin of her cheeks filled out with an even pink colour, her forehead became white and clear, and the hairdresser’s waves in her hair came undone.”
