You can't learn creative techniques. Every creator has his own techniques. One can only imitate higher techniques, but this leads nowhere, and one cannot penetrate into the work of the creative spirit.

It is difficult to be smart and sincere at the same time, especially in feelings...

The mind is the same everywhere: smart people have the same common characteristics, like all fools, despite the differences in nations, clothes, languages, religions, even outlook on life.

Fantasy is a kind of steam engine that, God forbid, the boiler does not burst.

“Oblomov’s Dream”... - an episode which, however, has so much wholeness and completeness in itself that it can be called a separate story - is an example of that new work, which, no doubt, will renew, if not strengthen, the wonderful impressions left in readers two years before this, “Ordinary History” published in Sovremennik. In this episode, Mr. Goncharov’s pen and brush again appears in all its artistic perfection, so remarkable in the department of the smallest details of Russian life, pictures of nature and various, living scenes.

Nekrasov N.A.<Сон Обломова>. St. Petersburg, 1849. // Contemporary. 1849. No. 4. Dept. 3.

Oblomov and Oblomovism: it was not for nothing that these words spread throughout Russia and became words forever rooted in our speech. They explained to us a whole range of phenomena of modern society, they presented us with a whole world of ideas, images and details that we had not yet fully realized... Oblomov was studied and recognized by a whole people, mostly rich in Oblomovism... Mr. Goncharov should not descend so deep into the depths of Oblomovism , the same Oblomovism... might seem to us sad, poor, pitiful, worthy of empty laughter. Now you can laugh at Oblomovism, but this laughter is full of pure love and honest tears, you can regret its victims, but such regret will be poetic and bright, not humiliating for anyone, but for many a high and wise regret.

Druzhinin A.V. "Oblomov." Roman I.A. Goncharova. St. Petersburg, 1859. //Beautiful and Eternal. M., 1988. P. 445.

“An Ordinary Story” is Goncharov’s first work - a huge sprout that has just emerged from the ground, not yet strong, green, but overflowing with fresh juices. Then, on the mighty shoot, two magnificent flowers bloom one after another - “Oblomov” and “Obryv”. All three works are one epic, one life, one plant. When you approach it, you see that a whole dew of barely noticeable drops, precious artistic little things, is scattered across its colossal petals. And you don’t know what to admire more - the beauty of the entire giant plant or these small drops in which the sun, earth and sky are reflected.

Merezhkovsky D.S. Goncharov. St. Petersburg, 1890. //The novel “Oblomov” in Russian criticism. P. 179.

As we see, we have before us an ordinary story, and it is terrible, like life itself, if you comprehend it in its depths. And Goncharov stubbornly follows the material, like all Russians, who in their analytical aspiration dissolve the smallest and most inconspicuous action in the subtlest flows of the narrative. Russian, however, is, first of all, the type itself - in all its features, which the poet secretly carefully observed. Never before have anyone depicted with such psychological pedantry the small comforts with which the hero surrounded himself, the lethargy of his awakening. His art of self-justification and self-hypnosis in the name of laziness; one could consider Oblomov a one-of-a-kind genius in the art of idleness, if it were not known that Russians... even in the simplest and meagerest things can put a thousandfold complications..."

Stefan Zweig. A triumph of inertia. 1902.

Just as Ostrovsky described the dark kingdom of the merchants, so Goncharov depicted the lordly Oblomovism in a huge picture... Goncharov’s simplicity and truthfulness in the construction of the novel are combined with architectural harmony, creating a strong aesthetic impression. This is, in particular, the composition of “Oblomov” - the drama of the hero’s three ascents and his three breakdowns. Goncharov’s landscape is also simple and truthful. Simple and artistic language...
