The expression became winged thanks to the widely known article "Million of Torments" (1872) by the writer Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891), who reinterpreted Griboyedov's expression in it in the spirit of his time - spiritual and moral torments.

"Woe from Wit" by Alexander Griboyedov is the most unique work in terms of the number of catchphrases. Many began to live separately. People who use them in speech often do not realize that they are quoting classic lines of literature.

Winged expressions from the comedy "Woe from Wit" can often be heard in speech, in what meaning the hero of the text pronounced them. What has changed over the eras?

Most cited expressions

"Happy hours are not observed"... The phrase is pronounced by Sofya Pavlovna, explaining to the maid how quickly the nights pass next to her beloved. The expression has not changed its interpretation. They characterize 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.

"Mind with heart is out of tune"... The phrase is pronounced by Chatsky. He explains his condition with her. The heart of a lover 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 later becomes a fatal mistake. In modern life, expression finds a place not only in the emotional sphere, which describes feelings of mutual affection. The mind does not help those who are blinded by their luck in business, in gambling.

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

"I would be glad to serve, to serve sickeningly"... In Chatsky's speech, the word serve has a direct meaning. In the modern world, the expression is used much more broadly. 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 power in order to move up the career ladder. Most want to be appreciated for their knowledge, skills and experience.

"Day after day, today is like yesterday"... This is how Alexey Molchalin describes his life. This is how contemporaries characterize life, if interesting events leave it, only one routine repeating every day remains. The state of despair is heard behind the words, longing and despondency. I want to break out of this state as quickly as possible.



“Pass us more than any sorrow. And the lordly anger, and the lordly love "... The phrase is embedded in 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, bosses and leaders often ends up negatively for the employee. That is why I want the bright manifestations on their part to be bypassed.

"To whom it is appointed, sir, fate cannot escape"... Lisa pronounces wise words. Contemporaries did not lose faith in destiny and destiny. An event that occurs in life, often negative, impossible to explain, is reduced to the manifestation of forces from above. Fate is responsible for everything.

"Who is poor, he is not your match"... Sophia's father's speech clearly delineated the daughter's ability to choose her future husband. It would seem that the age of division into rich and poor has passed. But in fact, the status position not only remained, but is considered one of the main reasons for divorces and failed marriages. The expression continues to live, expanding its meaning. Any social position that separates lovers can be explained by a catch phrase.

"Who are the judges?"... Chatsky's words are still heard today. Condemnation of people who do not have the right to this is so common that the expression is considered one of the most popular. The word judge is not used in its direct meaning, it characterizes any person trying to present his opinion, often erroneous, as a standard.

The catch phrases and aphorisms from the comedy "Woe from Wit", describing the life of landowners and their servants during the time of serfdom, find their place in the modern world. Moreover, in most cases, the meaning of catch phrases has become wider.

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

Have your own judgment.
Molchalin

The taciturns are blissful in the world!
Chatsky

But, however, he will reach the degrees of the known,
After all, nowadays they love the dumb.
Chatsky

There is no need for another model,
When the father's example is in the eyes.
Famusov

The confusion of languages ​​still prevails:
French with Nizhny Novgorod?
Chatsky

I'm strange, not strange who is?
One who looks like all fools;
Molchalin, for example ...

It is dark in the eyes, and the soul froze;
Sin is not a problem, rumor is not good.
Lisa

I have fun when I meet funny ones
And more often I miss them.
Chatsky

Of course, this mind is not in him,
What a genius for some, but a plague for others.
Sophia

When in business - I hide from fun,
When fooling around - fooling around
And to mix these two crafts
There are darkness of artisans, I am not one of them.
Chatsky

Although there are hunters everywhere,
Yes, today laughter frightens and keeps shame in check;
No wonder the sovereigns favor them sparingly.
Chatsky

Just think how capricious happiness is!
Sophia

O! if someone penetrated people:
What's worse about them? Soul or tongue?
Chatsky

A little light - already on your feet! And I am at your feet.
Chatsky

Dreams are strange, but in reality they are stranger.
Famusov

My custom is this:
Signed, off your shoulders.
Famusov

Fate, the mischievous woman is a minx,
I defined it myself:
All stupid - happiness from madness,
All clever - grief from the mind.
epigraph to "Woe from Wit", not written by A.S. Griboyedov

What is the rumor to me? Whoever wants to judge so.
Sophia

Besides honesty, there are many joys:
They scold here and thank you there.
Chatsky

So! I sobered up in full,
Dreams out of sight - and the veil fell.
Chatsky

And why not a husband?
There is only little intelligence in him;
But to have children
Who lacked intelligence?
Chatsky

Fate seemed to take care of us;
No worry, no doubt ...
And grief awaits from around the corner.
Sophia

The fate of love is to play blind man's buff.
Chatsky

Yes, at least someone will be confused
Questions are quick and curious ...
Sophia

I'll tell you the truth about you,
Which is worse than any lie.
Platon Mikhailovich Gorich

In Russia, under a great fine,
We are told to recognize everyone
Historian and geographer!
Chatsky

Yes, no urine. A million torment
Breasts from a friendly grip
Feet from shuffling, ears from exclamations,
And more than the head from all sorts of trifles.
Chatsky

Pardon me, we are not guys;
Why are the opinions of others only holy?
Chatsky

He hasn’t uttered a clever word for a while, -
I don't care what is for him, what is in the water.
Sophia

I don’t remember anything, don’t bother me.
Memories! Like a sharp knife onet.
Sophia

Husband-boy, husband-servant, from wife's pages -
The high ideal of all Moscow husbands.
Chatsky

Where, show us, fatherland fathers,
Which ones should we take for samples?
Aren't they rich in robbery?
They found protection from the court in friends, in kinship,
Building magnificent chambers
Where they are poured in feasts and prodigality,
And where foreign clients won't resurrect
The most vile traits of the past.
And who in Moscow did not have their mouths shut
Lunches, dinners and dancing?
Chatsky


(January 4, 1795 - January 30, 1829) - Russian diplomat, poet, playwright and composer.
Alexander Sergeevich was one of the most educated, talented and noble nobles of the 19th century. The scope of his creative activity is vast. He was not only an excellent playwright and poet, the author of the famous "Woe from Wit", but also a talented composer, polyglot, fluent in ten languages.
During the Russo-Persian War, he took an active part in negotiations with representatives of the Persian Shah and in the development of key conditions for the Turkmanchay Peace Treaty (1828), beneficial for Russia.
The diplomat's merits were noted by his appointment as Russian ambassador to Persia. On the way to Persia he lived for several months in Tiflis, where he married 16-year-old Georgian princess Nina Chavchavadze. Their relationship, full of romanticism and love, was imprinted for centuries in her words, engraved on the tombstone of Alexander Sergeevich: "Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory, but why did you survive, my love?" They lived only a few months in marriage, but this woman carried her loyalty to her husband through the rest of her life.
On January 30, 1829, the Russian embassy in Tehran was attacked by a brutal mob of religious fanatics. Several dozen Cossacks and employees, led by Griboyedov, who defended the embassy, ​​were brutally killed. All defenders of the mission were killed, including Griboyedov.
Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov lived only 34 years. He managed to create only one literary work and two waltzes. But they glorified his name throughout the civilized world.

Philosophize - the mind will turn

Famusov's words (d. 2, yavl. 1):

How wonderful is the light created!

Philosophize - the mind will go round;

Either you take care, then lunch:

Eat for three hours, but in three days it won't cook!

You see where the truth is and where the untruth is, but I definitely lost my sight, I don't see anything. You boldly decide all important questions, but tell me, my dear, is it because you are young, that you did not have time to suffer a single question of yours? You boldly look ahead, and is it not because you do not see and do not 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 are definitely avoiding each other. I do not understand!

I am a developed person, I read various wonderful books, but I just cannot understand the direction of what I actually want, to live or shoot myself, in fact, but nevertheless I always carry a revolver with me.

Humanity is moving forward, improving its strength. Everything that is inaccessible to him now will someday become close, understandable, only now he has to work, help with all his might those who are looking for the truth.

Everyone is serious, everyone has strict faces, everyone talks only about important things, philosophizes, but meanwhile, in front of everyone, the workers eat disgustingly, sleep without pillows, thirty, forty in one room, everywhere there are bugs, stench, dampness, moral uncleanness ... And, obviously, all the good conversations we have is 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 decide all important questions, but tell me, my dear, is it because you are young, that you did not have time to suffer a single question of yours? You boldly look ahead, and is it not because you do not see and do not 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 own decency.

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

… I got into the flock, barking, not barking, but wagging your tail.

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

And what is there to hide or keep silent, I love him, it's clear. I love, I love ... This is a stone on my neck, I go to the bottom with it, but I love this stone and cannot live without it.
