| an act of foolishness or cowardice, methinks | Dec 29, 2002 |
Borges\' visit to Pinochet. And it does change my perception of this great writer.
Now in my dream encounters with Borges, I\'ll have to ask him:
\"You fool, how could you? (praise Pinochet\'s dictatorship)
I \'ll report his answer, don\'t worry.

All is in the hands of man. Therefore wash them often.
The first condition of immortality is death.
Even if you feed the cow cocoa you will not get chocolate.
If the art of conversation stood a little higher we would have a lower birthrate.
A fat man lives shorter but eats longer.
There are grammatical errors even in his silence.
Even the masochists tell everything when tortured. From sheer gratitude.
At the beginning there was the Word - at the end just the Cliche.
Optimists and pessimists differ only on the date of the end of the world.
Is it a progress if a cannibal uses knife and fork?
America was not discovered by Americans - shame on them.
If you want to hide your face, walk naked.
The exit is usually where the entrance was.
In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.
Be yourself. A horse without the lancer is still a horse; a lancer without the horse is just a man.
Tell me whom you sleep with and I shall tell you whom you dream of.
A tired exclamation mark is a question mark.
Value your words. Each one may be the last.
How can you translate sighs?
We demand an eight-hour thinking day!
Why do I write these short aphorisms? Because words fail me!

Not of these, but of some others:
A mo¿e czyste rêce powinny byæ d³u¿sze?
Biedny, kto gwiazd nie widzi bez uderzenia w zêby.
B³oto stwarza czasem pozory g³êbi.
Bogu, co boskie, cesarzowi, co cesarskie. A co ludziom?
Budujcie mosty od cz³owieka do cz³owieka, oczywiœcie zwodzone.
Chcia³em powiedzieæ œwiatu tylko jedno s³owo.
Poniewa¿ nie potrafi³em tego, sta³em siê pisarzem.
Chleb otwiera ka¿de usta.
Ci, którzy maj¹ ideê wci¹¿ w gêbie, maj¹ j¹ zazwyczaj i w pobliskim nosie.
Ciasnota umys³owa siê rozszerza!
Ciemne okna s¹ czasem jasnym dowodem.
Co nas trzyma na tym globie prócz si³y ci¹¿enia?
Czas pozostanie ludo¿erc¹.
Czas robi swoje. A ty cz³owieku?
Czasem coœ kryje siê za czymœ, przed czym my siê kryjemy.
Czasem dzwony ko³ysz¹ dzwonnikiem.
Czasem ³atwiej przyznaæ nagrodê ni¿ racjê.
Czy jestem wierz¹cy? Bóg jeden raczy wiedzieæ.
Czy je¿eli ludo¿erca je no¿em i widelcem - to postêp?
Czy wœród ludo¿erców s¹ jarosze?
Cz³owiek - persona non grata.
Cz³owiek - produkt uboczny mi³oœci.
Cz³owiek we w³asnym ¿yciu gra zaledwie ma³y epizod.
Cz³owiek z cz³owiekiem prowadzi od wieków jeden monolog.
Cz³owieku, œwiat stoi przed tob¹ otworem, wiêc uwa¿aj byœ zeñ nie wylecia³.
Diabe³ nie œpi z byle kim.
Dialog pó³inteligentów równa siê monologowi æwieræinteligenta.
Dno jest dnem, nawet jeœli jest odwrócone do góry.
Do skoku w przepaϾ nie trzeba trampoliny.
Dwa czarne charaktery, a jak odmiennej barwy.
Dzia³anie ucisku zale¿y od materia³u. Jedni staj¹ siê mniejsi, drudzy wiêksi.
Kanibale wol¹ tych, co nie maj¹ koœci.
Kiedy cz³owiek pokona przestrzeñ miêdzyludzk¹?
Klucz sytuacji czêsto tkwi w zamku s¹siada.
Trudno doczytaæ siê w³asnego analfabetyzmu.
Mê¿czyŸni wol¹ kobiety ³adne ni¿ m¹dre, poniewa¿ ³atwiej im przychodzi patrzenie ni¿ myœlenie
Czasem trzeba zamilkn¹æ, ¿eby zostaæ wys³uchanym.
By dojœæ do Ÿród³a, trzeba p³yn¹æ pod pr¹d.
Nie zgadzam siê z matematyk¹. Uwa¿am, ¿e suma zer daje groŸn¹ liczbê.
Ju¿ sam znak paragrafu wygl¹da jak narzêdzie tortury.
Gdyby jeszcze koz³a ofiarnego mo¿na by³o doiæ.
I masochiœci wyznaj¹ wszystko na torturach. Z wdziêcznoœci.
Nauka jest spraw¹ wielkich. Maluczkim dostaj¹ siê nauczki.
Rany siê zabliŸniaj¹, ale blizny rosn¹ wraz z nami.
Kogut opiewa nawet ten ranek, w którym idzie na rosó³.
Wszystko mija, nawet najd³u¿sza ¿mija.
Nieobecni nigdy nie maja racji, ale bardzo czêsto zachowuj¹ ¿ycie.

| Apologies.... I forgot Mr. Buñuel... | Jan 20, 2003 |
If someone were to prove to me--right this minute--that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn\'t change a single aspect of my behavior.
If you were to ask me if I\'d ever had the bad luck to miss my daily cocktail, I\'d have to say that I doubt it; where certain things are concerned, I plan ahead.
Frankly, despite my horror of the press, I\'d love to rise from the grave every ten years or so and go buy a few newspapers. ... See more If someone were to prove to me--right this minute--that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn\'t change a single aspect of my behavior.

God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.

Decades later, my boss at a wire service invited me to a one-on-one goodbye lunch and well into the third brandy, I sighed something like \"Gee, what a shame we don\'t move real information.\"
Smiling philosophically with a twinkle in his left eye, he just said \"Oh Arthur! Never expect that!\"
