Even in the depths of sleep, in which he had to satisfy his need for protection and love by curling himself up into a trembling ball, he could not rid himself of the feeling of loneliness and homelessness.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

Animals! the object of insatia...

Animals! the object of insatiable interest, examples of the riddle of life, created, as it were, to reveal the human being to man himself, displaying his richness and complexity in a thousand kaleidoscopic possibilities, each of them brought to some curious end, to some characteristic exuberance.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

Man was entering under false pretenses the sphere of incredible facilities, acquired too cheaply, below cost price, almost for nothing, and the disproportion between outlay and gain, the obvious fraud on nature, the excessive payment for a trick of genius, had to be offset by self-parody.

All the Jews in town were huddled into the Jewish quarter. For the others things got a little worse every day, but not for my family.

In our town there was a Gestapo officer who loved to play chess. After the occupation began, he found out that my father was the chess master of the region, and so he had him to his house every night.

One Sunday, a Sunday probably much like today, two Gestapo officers went out drinking together and they got drunk... They had an argument.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

Theses officers were good friends, so it must have been a terrible argument, because the one who played chess with my father was so angry that he walked over to the dentist's house and got the dentist out of bed and shot him.

This enraged the other Nazi so much that the next morning he came to our house and he shot my father.

As we manipulate everyday words, we forget that they are fragments of ancient and eternal stories, that we are building our houses with broken pieces of sculptures and ruined statues of gods as the barbarians did.

Under the imaginary table that separates me from my readers, don't we secretly clasp each other's hands?

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

There are things than cannot ever occur with any precision. They are too big and too magnificent to be contained in mere facts. They are merely trying to occur, they are checking whether the ground of reality can carry them. And they quickly withdraw, fearing to loose their integrity in the frailty of realization.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

An event may be small and insi...

An event may be small and insignificant in its origin , and yet, when drawn close to one's eye, it may open in its center an infinite and radiant perspective because a higher order of being is trying to express itself in it and irradiates it violently.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

....'the sound of a barrel or...

....'the sound of a barrel organ rising from the deepest golden vein of the day; two or three bars of a chorus, played on a distant piano over and over again, melting in the sun on the white pavement, lost in the fire of high noon.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

The days hardened with cold and boredom like last year's loaves of bread. One began to cut them with blunt knives without appetite, with a lazy indifference.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

My ideal goal is to 'mature' into childhood. That would be genuine maturity.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

One thing must be avoided at all costs: narrow-mindedness, pedantry, dull pettiness.

And one's wandering proved as sterile and pointless as the excitement produced by a close study of pornographic albums.

Reality is as thin as paper and betrays with all its cracks its imitative character.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

Ordinary facts are arranged within time, strung along its length as on a thread. There they have their antecedents and their consequences, which crowd tightly together and press hard one upon the other without any pause. This has its importance for any narrative, of which continuity and successiveness are the soul.

Bruno Schulz 26 quotes

Yet what is to be done with events that have no place of their own in time; events that have occurred too late, after the whole of time has been distributed, divided, and allotted; events that have been left in the cold, unregistered, hanging in the air, homeless, and errant?
