Best Polka Quotes | Short & Famous Sayings

“Polska rośnie na traumie jak pieczarka na gnoju. To podstawa naszej tożsamości: rodząc się w kraju nad Wisłą, automatycznie wyrażasz zgodę na użycie twego mózgu do odbioru i przesyłania traumy, bez niej Polak nie byłby sobą (...) Większość naszej tradycji na wszelki wypadek opiera się więc na przywoływaniu i odtwarzaniu traum, a największe święto narodowe odbywa się w połowie listopada, w zacinającej mżawce, błocie i desperacji. Czy w takich warunkach można być normalnym?”

“My first job was in a Bohemian polka band, the Rejcek family polka band in Abbott. The old man in the band had another blacksmith shop in Abbott, but he liked me.

“With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing philosophy of the universe through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call stereotypical repetition.”

“When we think back to our forefathers, with their sedentary lives of forest-chopping, railroad-building, fortune-founding, their fox-hunting and Indian taming, their prancing about in the mazurka and the polka, with their coattails flying and their bustles bouncing, to say nothing of their all-day sessions with the port and straight bourbon,... we must realize that we are a nation, not of neurasthenics, but of sissies and slow-motion sports.”

So that was a joke that I continue up to this very day.”

I wish it had ribbons on it or something just to make it slightly cuter but that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong.”
