Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Some like to understand what they believe in. Others like to believe in what they understand

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.

Don't trust the heart, it wants your blood.

In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.

The first requisite for immortality is death.

You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

He who limps is still walking.

He had a clear conscience. Never used it.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

If one is seeking for Heaven on earth, has slept in geography class.
