Najlegshe zanjattja v chasi vijni - nenaviditi chuzhih. Najvazhche - dosjagti porozuminnja. Navit' zi svojimi. Ale treba namagatisja, inakshe vijna nikoli ne zakinchit'sja. A shhob porozumitisja neobhidno rozmovljati. Z kim zavgodno, jak zavgodno i pro shho zavgodno. Golovne - ne vtrachajuchi ljudjanosti, tobto ljubovi j uvagi. U poetichnij zbirci "Zhittja Mariji" Sergij Zhadan rozmovljae - pro najdorozhchi listi i spaleni mosti, vtracheni miscja i zrujnovani mista. Rozmovljae rimovanimi virshami j verlibami, vlasnimi i perekladenimi slovami. Rozmovljae zi svojimi j chuzhimi, zi svjatimi j ne duzhe, z ubitimi vijs'kovimi i zhivimi bizhencjami, z Ril'ke, Miloshem i, zvisno, z nami. Shhob vrjatuvati - jakshho ne nas, to hocha bi nashih ditej.
