Additional quotes by Wisława Szymborska
"Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous "I don't know."...That is why I value that little phrase "I don't know" so highly. It's small, but it flies on mighty wings. It expands our lives to include spaces within us as well as the outer expanses in which our tiny Earth hangs suspended...Poets, if they're genuine, must always keep repeating "I don't know.

Ista nas zvezda u istom radijusu drži.
Na osnovu istih zakona bacamo senke.
Pokušavamo nešto da saznamo, svako na svoj način,
a i ono što ne znamo zajedničko nam je.
Kako znam i umem, objasniću, samo pitajte:
šta je to gledati očima,
zašto mi srce kuca
i zbog čega moje telo nije pustilo korenje.
Ali kako odgovarati na nepostavljena pitanja,
ako si uz to neko
za vas veoma ništavan.
