Witold Gombrowicz
“When talking to a Communist, don't you have the impression that you are speaking to a "beleiver"? For a Communist, too, everything is taken care of, at least in the current phase of the dialectical process. He is in possission of the truth he knows. And, what is more, he believes, and what is still more, he wants to believe. Even if you could prove otherwise to him, he will not be convinced, because he has given himself up to the Party. The Party knows better, the Party knows for him.”
Witold Gombrowicz, Diary

“The artist, according to Freud, is a neurotic who treats himself, I guess because no one else can.”

“Contempt? What! I adore women! Yet it is true that until now I have not been able to figure out what they are to me in the spiritual order of things, enemies or allies? And this means that half of humanity is eluding my grasp.”
Witold Gombrowicz, Diary

“I write this diary reluctantly. Its dishonest honesty wearies me. For whom am I writing? If I am writing for myself, then why is it being published? If for the reader, who do I pretend that I am talking to myself? Are you talking to yourself so that others hear you?”
Witold Gombrowicz, Diary

Witold Gombrowicz
“Ah! I knew the masculinity that they, men, fabricated among themselves, goading eachother into it, mutually forcing themselves to it in a panic-stricken fear at the woman in themselves. I knew men straining to attain Masculinity, convlsed males, giving each other lessons in manliness. This type of manartificially magnified his traits: he exaggerated this heaviness, brutality, strength, and seriousness, and in it was he who raped, conguered by force. He was affraid, thereforece, of beauty and grace, which are the weapons of weakness, he lost himself in male monstrosity and was becoming licentious and trivial or dull and clumsy.”
Witold Gombrowicz, Diary
