First, we are born in the same galaxy. Born of the same spe­cies. Our life­times over­lap. The meet­ings between humans are so unlikely as to be mira­cu­lous. To laugh, to cry, and to fall in love.

Politics: a Trojan horse race.

All his life there was only one thing Lec was allowed to believe. It had surrounded him, cocooned him, constricted him with the same stifling softness as the layers of insulation around him now. For the first time in his life, Lev feels those bounds around his soul begin to loosen.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.” S. J. LEC

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet. —Stanislaw J. Lec

La Lo­te­ría, con su re­par­to se­ma­nal de enor­mes pre­mios, era el único acon­te­ci­mien­to pú­bli­co al que los pro­les pres­ta­ban ver­da­de­ra aten­ción. Era pro­ba­ble que hu­bie­se mi­llo­nes de pro­les para quie­nes la Lo­te­ría fuese la razón prin­ci­pal, si no la única, para se­guir con vida. Era su de­lei­te, su lo­cu­ra, su anal­gé­si­co, su es­ti­mu­lan­te in­te­lec­tual. En lo que se re­fe­ría a la Lo­te­ría, hasta quie­nes ape­nas sa­bían leer y es­cri­bir eran ca­pa­ces de lle­var a cabo in­trin­ca­dos cálcu­los y sor­pren­den­tes lo­gros me­mo­rís­ti­cos. Había toda una tribu de in­di­vi­duos que se ga­na­ban la vida ven­dien­do sis­te­mas, pre­dic­cio­nes y amu­le­tos de la suer­te. Wins­ton no tenía nada que ver con la Lo­te­ría, que se ges­tio­na­ba desde el Mi­nis­te­rio de la Abun­dan­cia, pero sabía (como cual­quier otro miem­bro del Par­ti­do) que los pre­mios eran casi todos ima­gi­na­rios. Solo se pa­ga­ban pe­que­ñas sumas y los ga­na­do­res de los pre­mios gor­dos en reali­dad no exis­tían. En au­sen­cia de ver­da­de­ra co­mu­ni­ca­ción entre una parte de Ocea­nía y otra, no re­sul­ta­ba di­fí­cil ama­ñar­lo.

Das Leben zwingt den Menschen zu allerlei freiwilligen Handlungen.

Laiks Namā rit citādi nekā Ārienē. Par to neviens nerunā, bet dažs labs paspēj nodzīvot divus mūžus un novecot tikmēr, kamēr citam aizrit nieka mēnesis un ne vairāk. Jo biežāk tu iekrīti starplaika caurumos, jo ilgāk dzīvo, bet to dara tikai tie, kas šeit jau ir sen, tādēļ atšķirība starp vecajiem un jauniņajiem ir milzīga, nav jābūt lielam gudrelim, lai to ieraudzītu. Paši alkatīgākie lec vairākas reizes mēnesī, un pēc tam velk līdzi sev vairākas savas pagātnes versijas. Tādu rīļu kā es Namā vairs nav, un tātad nav neviena, kurš būtu nodzīvojis tik loku, cik esmu nodzīvojis es. Lepoties nav vērts, bet es tomēr lepojos, jo izcila alkatība taču arī ir savdabīgs sasniegums.

Every scarecrow has a secret ambition to terrorize.

The finger of God never leaves identical fingerprints.

I prefer the sign NO ENTRY to the one that says NO EXIT.

Or, rather, there is a duel between them: death toys with life, life toys with death. Which of the two succumbs? Stanislaw Lec reverses the terms here: it is not we who defend ourselves against death, it is death that defends itself against us: 'Death resists us, but it gives in in the end.' Nothing else so stunning as this has ever been said about death. Needless to say, this dual relationship has nothing to do with interactivity, which is a parody of it. There is nothing interactive in the antagonistic process of reversibility and becoming. The feminine and the masculine are not 'interactive': that is ridiculous. Life and the world are not interactive -life isn't a question-and-answer session or a video game. There is nothing interactive in words when they are articulated in language. Interactivity is a gigantic mythology, a mythology of integrated systems or of systems craving integration, a mythology in which otherness is lost in feedback, interlocution and interface - a kind of generalized echography.

You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories.

Every scarecrow has a secret ambition to terrorize.

Stanislaw Jerzy Lec,

C'è chi vorrebbe capire ciò in cui crede, e chi vorrebbe credere in ciò che capisce.

¿Cómo ejercitar la memoria para que aprenda a olvidar?

Es extraño que resulte tan difícil despertar ecos hasta en las cabezas huecas.

Quien olvida fácilmente, pasa mejor el examen de su vida.

La voz de la conciencia también pasa por un cambio de voz

If you are not a psychiatrist, stay away from idiots. They are too stupid to pay a layman for his company.

A funny word. E-lec-tion. Say it very slowly and it sounds disgusting. But if you say it just fast enough it almost sounds real, like it might even be legitimate.” “Torgon-off!

Do not expect too much of the end of the world. —Stanisław J. Lec, Aforyzmy. Fraszki, Kraków, Wydawnictwo Literackie, 1977, “Myśli nieuczesane

Wszyscy chcą naszego dobra.Nie dajmy go sobie zabrać!

Wszyscy chcą naszego dobra. Nie dajcie go sobie zabrać.

Sumienie miał czyste. Nieużywane.

El que busca el cielo en la tierra se ha dormido en clase de geografía

The juke­box is a com­mon sym­bol in coun­try music; it’s only nat­ural for such a self-reflexive rhetor­i­cal style to iden­tify the mate­r­ial cir­cum­stances of its exis­tence. Beneath the vul­gar­ity of its ves­sel, the juke­box is inscrutably com­plex: a source of tes­ti­mony, a pro­lif­er­a­tion of voices, a col­lec­tion of sensations—all avail­able for a price. The juke­box, like the songs within it, is a com­mod­ity suf­fused with a mess of mean­ing.

Yet, when examined through the lens of metaphor, we clearly see that Mr. Lec tightly packs multiple objects into the single word “avalanche,” including the image of snowflakes as people and the inexorable force of opinion to which a lone voice may be subject when the desire for consensus and pressure for conformity quash potential dissent while simultaneously absolving individual members within a group of culpability for collectively made decisions. Despite its manifest complexity, this story effortlessly unfolds not so much on the page itself, but in the mind of the reader.

Кожны каменьчык лавіны лічыць, што ён нявінны

Zwei Parallelen begegnen sich in der Unendlichkeit und sie glauben daran.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

On the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey, one of the main forms of faery is the pouque, a being especially associated with megalithic structures, the so-called pouquelayes- also spelled pouclées, poucquelées and even porquelées.149 This term is said to be a combination of two Breton or Celtic words, their form of ‘puck’ plus lec’h (a dolmen or cromlech- compare llech, a stone, in Welsh). An alternative translation of the second element is the Breton for ‘place.’ The pouques are said to have built the structures and may also continue to reside in them.

I prefer the sign No Entry to the one that says No Exit.

When gossip grows old, it becomes myth.

In the beginning, there was the Word. In the end, just the Cliche.

When you arrive at the very bottom, you will hear knocking from below.

Uložio je sve na jednu kartu. Dobila je druga. Na kraju je ipak pobijedio – postao je mučenik.
