«Wenn ein Text 'shibumi' (Zusammengezognheit, Kürze) – 'kire' (Zäsur und Nebeneinanderstellung) – 'atarashimi' (Neuigkeit) und 'yûgen' (Geheimnis und Offenheit) enthält, besteht die Chance, wenngleich nicht die Garantie, das ein gelungenes Haiku vorliegt…»

«Despite the fact that we are physically here, we are freer than everyone sitting across from us. We can say anything we want!»

– Nadeschda Andrejewna Tolokonnikowa, member of Pussy Riot

Extract out of the full quote by Nadia:

“By and large, the three members of Pussy Riot are not the ones on trial here. If we were, this event would hardly be so significant. This is a trial of the entire political system of the Russian Federation... Despite the fact that we are physically here, we are freer than everyone sitting across from us on the side of the prosecution. We can say anything we want and we say everything we want... So, open all the doors, tear off your epaulets; Come, taste freedom with us.”
