More From Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. don't try to write through it, to force it. many do, but that won't work. just wait, it will come.
Writing Waiting Trying
And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.
Coffee Missing Him Men
He wanted her. he knew where to find her. he waited. it amused him to wait, because he knew that the waiting was unbearable to her. he knew that his absence bound her to him in a manner more complete and humiliating than his presence could enforce. he was giving her time to attempt an escape, in order to let her know her own helplessness when he chose to see her again.
Order Giving Waiting
She sat leaning back in her chair, looking ahead, knowing that he was as aware of her as she was of him. she found pleasure in the special self-consciousness it gave her. when she crossed her legs, when she leaned on her arm against the window sill, when she brushed her hair off her forehead - every movement of her body was underscored by a feeling the unadmitted words for which were: is he seeing it?
Romantic Knowing Hair
All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. we were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugliness. her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. her poverty kept us generous. even her waking dreams we used--to silence our own nightmares.

Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.
Love Marriage Beautiful
I just love musicians. they're not all super-happy all the time, but when they're playing they're happy, and it's such a beautiful thing.

Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. and they're watching me.
