Bruno Schulz

“An event may be small and insignificant in its origin, and yet, when drawn close to one’s eye, it may open in its centre an infinite and radiant perspective.”

“In the depth of the night, on the black, limitless bed of the sky, the stars appear.”

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

“There is no dead matter. Lifelessness is only a disguise behind which hide unknown forms of life.”

“Mythology is the textbook of the soul, the biography of the soul.”

“Matter has been given the infinite fertility, the immense inventiveness of the demiurge. It is in a state of perpetual fermentation, germination, and blossoming.”

“We are grown in this world, and we are built of it. We are a part of its flora and fauna.”

“Our reality is a scrapbook of poetic conceptions.”

“There are things that cannot ever occur with any precision. They are too big and too magnificent to be contained in mere facts.”

“The demiurge has no monopoly of creation.”

“The substance of reality is novelty. The old truths are not true anymore.”

“The age of genius is not yet over. We are just at the beginning of it.”
