More From Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!

Death did not first strike adam, the first sinful man, nor cain, the first hypocrite, but abel, the innocent and righteous. the first soul that met with death, overcame death; the first soul that parted from earth went to heaven. death argues not displeasure, because he whom god loved best dies first, and the murderer is punished with living.

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

Somebody has to go polish the stars, they're looking a little bit dull. somebody has to go polish the stars, for the eagles and starlings and gulls have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn, they say they want new ones we cannot afford. so please get your rags and your polishing jars, somebody has to go polish the stars.
