Joseph Conrad
“On jest romantykiem, tak romantykiem. A to bardzo źle... Bardzo źle... Ale i bardzo dobrze.”
Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim

Ernest Hemingway
“No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist.”
Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Charles Frazier
“The man had asked, Why do you want sheep? The wool? Meat? Monroe's answer had been, For the atmosphere.”
Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain

W.G. Sebald
“Tiny details imperceptible to us decide everything!”
Winfried Georg Sebald, Vertigo

Robert Lowell
“Any clear thing that blinds us with surprise,
your wandering silences and bright trouvailles,
dolphin let loose to catch the flashing fish...
saying too little, then too much.
Poets die adolescents, their beat embalms them,
the archetypal voices sing offkey;
the old actor cannot read his friends,
and nevertheless he reads himself aloud,
genuis hums the auditorium dead.
The line must terminate.
Yet my heart rises, I know I've gladdened a lifetime
knotting, undoing a fishnet of tarred rope;
the net will hang on the wall when the fish are eaten,
nailed like illegible bronze on the futureless future.”
Robert Lowell
