Quote by Stanisław Lem

“Гнев, который ты испытываешь сейчас, вскоре сменится бессильным отчаянием, а его в свою очередь после многих, столь же бурных, сколь и напрасных, усилий спастись заменит тупое безразличие. (Вух - Автоматею)”

I despise the absence of risks, madness and passion in abstract thinking. How fertile live, passionate thinking is! Lyricism feeds it like blood pumped into the heart!”
