Additional quotes by Wisława Szymborska

Here I am, Cassandra.
And this is my city under ashes.
And these are my prophet's staff and ribbons.
And this is my head full of doubts.

But human beings are, by nature, sad.

Żaden dzień się nie powtórzy,
nie ma dwóch podobnych nocy,
dwóch tych samych pocałunków,
dwóch jednakich spojrzeń w oczy.

Even if you bar my way, even if you stare me in the face, I'll pass you by on the chasm's edge, finer than a hair. - Wisława Szymborska
