I’ve been wondering for a long time: “What is life?” Engels identifies it as the form of protein bodies’ existence. Still milk is also a protein body, but that does not live. And a man believes and hopes…

I’ve had quite a successful business through which I got profit, but I’ve got tired of the thing after all. That made me start studying medicine at the age of 33. It’s a kind of downshifting you know. Delicately to the side.

The first two weeks with 18 year old students brought me into a great shock. But now we are equal. You can be lucky and crib something… (Laughing).

Dead house is just a usual place but the only difference is that it smells like at the butcher’s. Students get sick not because they see something dreadful there, it’s all just about the absence of ventilation.

There are “come-cut-leave” types of doctors. There are other ones, who lay everything to their heart. I am not sure what’s better.

God created us all just as we are meant to be. And this is our personal task to take us as we are.

There’s no use changing the form of your nose or eye shape. What is in your head — that really matters.

According to my first education I am a chemical engineer, a researcher. And you know I just can’t realize why it is so much for nanotechnologies nowadays. People got the idea 20 years ago and you know what has happened lately: they just implemented a new brand and called it “nano”. Does it mean that we had no nano before? Were they somehow different from what we have now? Common, that’s just an idea that is destined to unite scientific elite.

Everything I could buy as a Ph. D. scholar was a travel ticket.

You simply don’t get free time when you study medicine. And once I get it my children gently take it away from me. (laughing).

When being involved into business you are to constantly pace the information access level.

It’s quite hard to surprise people in Moscow. Just think what was “Mercedess-600” in 1995 and now turn to 2009 and imagine nowadays attitude towards it… Things lose their value as the time passes. I believe that you can stand out by your mind and internal harmony and not by some status symbols.

I am negatively impressed by the degree of the Internet popularity. Its possibilities do not do any good to the young. Now you are so independent thanks to it that you can get any information just staying at one and the same place. Now people do not strive to socialize, in fact they need absolutely nothing.

We can figure out after some time whether we are happy or not. And usually it sounds like this: “What a fool I was! It was then that I felt really good!”
