"This officer with great abilities can do extensive and far-sighted remarks about the land where the theater of war was, which by their properties deserve to be awarded the highest attention and respect. And therefore I entrust him to convey to You many circumstances related to the glory of the Empire ..."
Potemkin insisted on the reinforcement of the army of the Danube by new reinforcements from Russia and on the unfettering this army off instructions.
Thus, Potemkin was not only the favourite. He has appeared in the capital of the Empire as the competent representative of those forces which acted on the "Ottoman" direction.
Potemkin often wrote the letters to the Empress. This correspondence allowed to draw conclusions about literacy, knowledge and Potemkin's outlook.
Focusing on writing a biographical essay about Grigory Potemkin, about his glorious accomplishments, You, Mr. Ogarkov, will be able to tell about activities of Catherine the Great without further details about her personal life.
– So, to write about Potemkin?
– showing hesitation, said Ogarkov.
– Write about epoch, mister Ogarkov. Write about historical processes, about events, about
– You are right, mister Kamensky, - Ogarkov has made the decision.
– I will focus on Grigory Potemkin's biography and on his affairs. I will tell about Catherine the Great, about her predecessors on a throne. If it is pertinent, then I will mention also historical versions. I thank for a conversation.

Владимир
Владимирович Залесский 'Диалог о перспективах искусства'.XXXIV. The dialogue between Diogenes and Croesus.
Croesus made a sign with his hand. His entourage has placed a huge gold coins on special supports.
Diogenes looked at the coins. The philosopher Diogenes was the son of the money-changers from Hycesia. Once at Delphi, he inquired of the Oracle what he must do, received the answer: "revaluation of values". Initially he understood this saying as "coin minting". However, he realized his calling in philosophy.
– Coins of pure gold. Each weighs several kilograms, - Croesus recalled with pride.
– They made a splash in the ancient world. Best people dream about them.
– Yes!
– Diogenes was captured by memories.
– Look at them! Take a look! And tell me which one you prefer. Maybe you like it all!
– assumed Croesus.
Diogenes sighed and lowered his head.
The persons accompanying Croesus brought the coins closer to Diogenes.
The face of Diogenes became even more sad.
– Do not prevent me from reading the philosophical works.
– Diogenes displaced his look from the coins to the book with philosophical writings.
– Think!
– said Croesus.
Diogenes has squeezed by fingers the philosophical book.
