Rat Quotes

“I myself have often pursued strange rats, I have inflicted wounds, I have bitten, I have killed. I know this hatred very well, the hatred of an intruder, an alien, a stranger heralding the arrival of others, who from those that are pursued and attacked may easily turn into those that pursue and attack.”
― Andrzej Zaniewski, Rat

“I see people for the first time, I smell them for the first time, I am close to them for the first time. I hear the heavy thumping of human hearts. The sour scent of sweat fills the cellar.

Noisy, shapless, with legs that bend, with stiffly mounted round heads, they emit mumbling, hissing sounds.”
― Andrzej Zaniewski, Rat
