Wislawa Szymborska
After every war someone has to tidy up.
Wislawa Szymborska
History counts its skeletons in round numbers. A thousand and one remains a thousand, as though the one had never existed: an imaginary embryo, an empty cradle, ... emptiness running down steps toward the garden, nobody's place in line.
Wislawa Szymborska
Out of every hundred people, those who always know better: fifty-two.
Wislawa Szymborska
This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.
Wislawa Szymborska
Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous I don't know.
