ABOUT ME

"You have a tremendous defect in your character that will close all the doors in your face: you can not speak to a fool even for two minutes, without letting him feel that he is a fool."

- Emile Zola

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like roman candles across the night."

- On the Road
(Jack Kerouac)

PHILOSOPHY

"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either."
- Benjamin Franklin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My childhood in Ukraine.
Paris within drizzle.
Dancing on the beach of Barcelona at night.
New Year's Eve 2009 in Kyev.
Crystal clear see in Croatia.
Not ending nights of music and passionated madness.

Caring people. Anywhere.
