Quote by Tadeusz Konwicki

“Polak, jak dać mu wolność, to wszystkich przeskoczy. Polak, jak musi czekać, to wpada w złość. Polak, jak myśli, to zawsze senny. Polak, jak ponarzeka, zaraz zdrowszy. Polak, jak przyjdzie wieczór, to zaraz wspomina. Polak, jak widzi balkon, to chce skakać. Polak, jak wpadnie w szał to biada, ślepej i gnuśnej Europie. Polka, jak zechce rzuci miliardera.”

“There are many probability axes in Allah's creation. Space, time and probability all have an axis on which it is possible to move. This is why they often refer to the greatest Sufi saints and Sheikhs as Qutubs, Poles, or Axial Centralities of the Universe.”

“Marzył mi się traktat o tragiczności i błazeństwie. U nas często tragizm chadza pod rękę z błazenadą. A ja w tym upatruję naszą siłę. Ja kocham to dwuznaczne pokrewieństwo, tę ryzykowną symbiozę, ten geniusz narodu zaklęty w dwóch postawach. Nasz tragizm opalizuje, mieni się niejasnymi barwami, bulgoce bezwstydem, dotyka brzegiem granic obleśności, krztusi się histerycznym chichotem. Nasze błazeństwo ma szloch w gardle, nasze błazeństwo gryzie palce do krwi, nasze błazeństwo wiąże powróz na własnej szyi.”

“Тут можна було впиватися локальним гардкором, як впивалися ми — бідні п'яні дурні з калічної країни, які раділи, що їм вдалося знайти ще більшого каліку за себе.”

“We have never solved the mystery of ice ages in the tropics, nor the equally strange mystery of the growth of corals and warm-climate flora in the polar zones. [...] It became obvious to me, as I reviewed these problems, and went back over the controversies that had marked their consideration, that a sort of common denominator was present. [...] [S]omebody usually tried to explain the particular problem in terms of changes in the position of the poles. This, I found, was the common denominator. The authors of such theories, unfortunately, were never able to prove their assumptions. The opponents of the notion of polar change always managed to point out fallacies that seemed decisive. At the same time, no one was able to reconcile all the evidence in the different fields with the idea that the poles have always been situated where they are now on the earth's surface. The theory here presented would solve these problems by supposing changes in the positions of the poles. Campbell has suggested that the changes have occurred not by reason of changes in the position of the earth's axis, but simply through a sliding of its crust.”

“One of the dangers of social media is that it has become a platform for capitalizing on and commercializing lies, misinformation, racism, and propaganda. People are profiting from spreading fake news and false narratives, and some even pretend to be victims to gain attention or financial benefit.”
