Additional quotes by Wisława Szymborska

I shake my memory. Maybe something in its branches that has been asleep for years will start up with a flutter.<p>No. Clearly I'm asking too much. Nothing less than one whole second.

Something doesn't start at its usual time. Something doesn't happen as it should. Someone was always, always here, then suddenly disappeared and stubbornly stays disappeared.

Only what is human can truly be foreign.
The rest is mixed vegetation, subversive moles, and wind.

The track’s all yours. We won’t get in your way: by then we will have set off chasing ourselves rather than you. - Wisława Szymborska
