“Yo, bana o istiridye gibi kolaycacık yutu yutuverdiğimiz uyaklanmış acılarınızdan söz etmeyin, söz etmeyin ayıbın şekerlemelerinden, dehşetin çikolatalı kremasından, sefaletin kurabiyelerinden, acının bonbonlarından ve yılgının doyumsuz lezzetlerinden. Ve korkusuz parmağıyla toplumsal yaraların en kanlılarını, misal altı kişilik bir işçi ailesinin açlıktan ölmesini kaşıyan bir hanım kızımız, toplumun karşısında aynı parmakla kulağını karıştırmaya niye cesaret edemesin, niye diye soruyorum.”

“Sonuna kadar insan olmayanların sonuna kadar dünya olmayan dünyasını bir ân bile unutamıyordum -ve panikle korka korka, acayip iğrene iğrene, onun bataklık yeşilini sadece gözümde canlandırdığımda bile ürpere ürpere yine de ondan kopmayı beceremiyordum; mini mini bir kuşun yılanın görüntüsüyle büyülenmesi gibi büyülenmiştim.”

“La camera si riempì ora di azioni decise e precise, le quali però, essendo nate dalla noia, dall'oziosità, dal capriccio, celavano in sé una certa dose di imbecillità.”

“If you set five men pulling on a rope, you multiply the strength of each in dividual by five. With death, it's the other way round. If you kill a thousand men, the death of each is a thousand times less important than if he had died alone (Gombrowicz). A specious logic, since it is a matter of quantity in the one case and of quality in the other (the one is multiplied, the other divided, so deep down there is no paradox). But it is a superb proposition all the same!
Certain regimes reserve for themselves a monopoly on physical violence. As for the socialists, they reserve a monopoly on moral comedy. That is why it is quite difficult to make fun of them. But this is not something they should be proud of, because when something no longer makes you laugh, it probably means what is ridiculous about it is already deeply buried away, immune from further harm, irreparable. It is against all the rules for power to appropriate a function - ridicule - which commonly belongs to the sphere of manners and which is normally the province of the public mind”
