Quotes by Tadeusz Różewicz  (?)

“They mutilate they torment each other
with silences with words
as if they had another
life to live

they do so
as if they had forgotten
that their bodies
are inclined to death
that the insides of men
easily break down

ruthless with each other
they are weaker
than plants and animals
they can be killed by a word
by a smile by a look ”
Tadeusz Rózewicz

“Zaraz zrobimy kawę. Wprawdzie nie mam kawy, filiżanek i pieniędzy, ale od
czego jest nadrealizm, metafizyka, poetyka snów.”
Tadeusz Różewicz

“my gray zone is starting to include poetry   here white is not absolute white black is not absolute black the edges of these non-colors adjoin”
Tadeusz Różewicz, New Poems
