Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

“No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”

“Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?”

“Thoughts, like fleas, jump from man to man, but they don't bite everybody.”

“When smashing monuments, save the pedestals - they always come in handy.”

“Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.”

“Whenever man begins to doubt himself, he does something so stupid that he is reassured.”

“The first requisite for immortality is death.”

“Telling lies does not work in advertising.”

“People find life entirely too time-consuming.”

“The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it.”
