“There must be repressed truth even in lies.”
Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, The Madman And The Nun: And Other Plays

“The one thing is fiction in a novel and the other thing is reality. With fiction you don't make a fuss - you can 'beat it' and there's never enough. At least in my opinion - cause there are people, who complain about style intensity in literature: they prefer cereals with milk than abyssinian bitches roasted alive on bringhausers and watered with ya-yoo juice.”
Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz

“Nauczmy sie widziec te piekna zaiste potwornosc, a nie zamazujmy jej starannie za psie pieniadze, w dodatku jakimis specjalnie fabrykowanymi w tym celu gowienkami, produktami naszych ZDUPIALYCH MOZGOW.”
