“Then you are lost. For the darkness has a terrible voice. You cannot escape it and in a flash it has overwhelmed you. It assails you with memory-of the murder you committed yesterday. And it attacks you with the foreknowledge-of the murder you'll commit tomorrow. And it presses up a cry in you: unheard fish-cry of the solitary animal, overwhelmed by its own sea. And the cry tears up your face and makes hollows in it full of fear and past danger, that terrify others. So silent is the dreadful darkness-cry of the solitary animal in its own sea.

And it mounts like a flood and rushes on, dark-winged, threatening, like breakers. And hisses wickedly, like foam.”
Borchert Wolfgang

“Why? Why I live? Out of spite perhaps! Out of pure spite. It's spite that makes me laugh and eat and sleep and wake up again. Just spite.”
Borchert Wolfgang

“I've always thought the most effective method of distribution is to give your work away.”

“As to the action which is about to begin, it takes place in Poland – that is to say, nowhere”

“Teleology is like a mistress to a biologist: he cannot live without her but he’s unwilling to be seen with her in public.”
