Quote by Jerzy Andrzejewski

“Nienawidząc kogoś, kto nas przerasta, jesteśmy bezsilni i śmieszni, kierując natomiast nienawiść ku istocie pomniejszej, możemy się tylko poniżyć, korzyść zatem w obu wypadkach raczej wątpliwa.”

“The truth is, most of us don’t want to harm each other. We just want the bus to turn up on time, and to thank the driver as we get off. To wave and smile at the postie as we pass him in the street, and for our friends to get home safely after a night out. We’re simple creatures really, and I know we’ve grown far from the foresters and hunter-gatherers we once were, but after all that time, to know that love and kindness are still our default states of being, well I think that’s quite something. Whenever I feel sad, I look for those little bits of love. The calm and quiet types. If you miss them, as I often do, don’t feel bad. Most of us don’t pay attention to the sea when it is calm.”
