It is said that the courage of a hero and the word of a wise man will not be forgotten. There is a lot of evidence for the truth of this wisdom from the glorious history of our people, from our learned ancestors.
He has made a great contribution to the development of Uzbek literature with his novels such as "Sisters", "Birth", "Plane Tree", poetry books such as "99 miniatures", "Caravan bell".

To do even a small good, one must also be a man (perhaps a great man); even a small man is capable of doing great evil.

The endurance of the stone is excellent.

The sea, as if trying to awaken the Earth, sprinkled water on the shore…

Odysseus resurrects ghosts by giving them his own blood to persuade them to talk to him. This is what a writer should do when writing about historical figures.

“For some reason we do not study the Dashti Kipchak (Golden Horde) Turkic literature of the XII-XIV centuries. However, this literature (Qutb, Sayfi Sarayi, Hisom Kotib) is a pure Turkish language, which deserves great attention not only in terms of populism, but also in terms of its universal content. Take only the epic Jumjuma Sultan. Hisam Kotib wrote it in imitation of Farididdin Attar ("Jumjumanoma"). If you compare it to Dante's Contemporary Human Comedy, you come to very antiquated ideas. (For example, taking the world vertically, that is, summarizing all times at the same time (chronotope) and meeting them in eternity…) You will be amazed that these two authors wrote a very melodic work without knowing each other.
Listen to the pre-Alisher Turkic language:
Because you came into the world - you have to go,
You have to say goodbye as much as you can!
(Account Secretary)
The last is marrow, the last is knowledge,
The ignorant eran ul is the later beilik.
(Adib Ahmad, XII century)
(By the way, the motifs of "Human Comedy" have been going on since Al-Maarri.)

The writer fabricates lies and writes the truth.

The wind blows out the candle. Similarly, separation can simply cool the awakening, ignite true love.

The truth is God: everyone knows him, but no one has seen him.

It is good to be a poet, it is bad to claim to be a poet.
* * *
Geniuses go beyond the scope of their professions. So-and-so is a poet, so-and-so is a scientist, but Navoi is Navoi, Einstein is Einstein.
* * *
The pencil draws the shadow of the word.
* * *
The book is a treasure. But not what was bought, what was read.

- Do you like theater or cinema? Said the reporter.
"Do you like a man or his shadow?" Said the writer.
"There are some people who have a good shadow," joked the reporter.
They laughed.

Previously, I could not understand and digest abstract art. I became interested in this art when man flew into the sky and the space age began. Is abstract art the aesthetic beginning of the image of the cosmos?
* * *
Not everyone who speaks passionately about talent is talented. Because no one thinks they’re talented.

Mix went into the board, trying to escape the hammer.
* * *
To be rich you have to sacrifice a lot of things: happiness, health, sometimes even a conscience… No, I can't afford it, I'm not very rich.

Life is such a wonderful miracle that death is a trivial duty paid for in return.
* * *
He who does not work does not bite, the official said. He was still gnashing his teeth. Because that's his job.

Nature is a direct expression of goodness and beauty.

Peasant labor is the divine doctrine of life.

Even if people don’t know you, you know people.

An ancient sage once said, “I know what time is. But "What is time?" I can't say if they ask. "
In my opinion, the same can be said about poetry. It's endless, it's endless…

He is the master of his own words: he gives today, he takes back tomorrow.

The main work for the poet is to see with the eyes of the heart; and on paper - a profession.

The deceitfulness of a liar is his slightest sin.
* * *
God punished man with the torment of seeking happiness for a lifetime.

Ovid praised the "happiness of loneliness." Forgive the great poet, for me the pain of loneliness is heavy.

Ask the interpreter for clarity. He’s not a painter, he’s an artist!
* * *
Don’t be afraid of old age, it still needs to be reached.
* * *
We have seen years like this when it was a shame to be happy.
* * *
In physics, consequence is equal to cause. So it is with morality.
* * *
"Time is running out!" with a little sadness. This phrase was invented by man to rub himself. In fact, we pass by ourselves…

I don’t know what talent is, its components, but I’m sure imagination is a very important aspect of it. We first imagine our heroes, their actions and situations, and then describe them. Jules Verne described cities, distances, lands he had never seen, and these images of him were close to reality; Jonathan Swift described the satellites of Mars 150 years before they were discovered, while Beruni predicted the existence of the American continent 450 years before Columbus. Imagination brings a writer’s talent closer to science.

Socrates' "Republic", Farobi's "Madinat ul-Fozila", Thomas Moore's "Utopia", Campanella's "City of the Sun", Bacon's "New Atlantis", Kabek's "Journey to Icarus"… There are dozens of such works in the world. These are social utopias. Wouldn’t you say religious-moral, scientific-technical and love-love utopias! These are the noble flights of the human dream. Our terms "utopia" - "fantasy" - knock them to the ground. In fact, these are the ideal pursuits of mankind. The ideal is the guarantee of any development.

There were many Donjuans, Faustians, madmen, Prometheus, Alexander, Juliet. But we associate them only with the names Byron and Pushkin, Hyote and Hayne, Navoi and Nizami, Aeschylus and Shakespeare. In other authors, these are perceived as something that has happened in life or history. Only when it falls into the hands of geniuses does the "fact" become a problem. We now call this a classic.

I get annoyed when they start analyzing the poem. The chemical composition of spring fresh air can also be checked. But isn’t it better to breathe with such a full chest?

Oriental poetry is a free, humane, deeply philosophical, traditional romantic poetry, full of love and affection, beautiful and sensitive, rich in high artistic symbols and metaphors. It has been so since ancient times. He has repeatedly rescued the romantic spirit of Western literature over the centuries.

The writer is connected with his own personality and the personality of others - the work is his subject. He can work in other jobs, but his essence, his passion is creativity. The greater the ability, the greater the effort expended. He is an involuntary sacrifice; both happy and unhappy - it doesn’t depend on his will.
