“There is one thing I like about the Poles—their language. Polish, when it is spoken by intelligent people, puts me in ecstasy. The sound of the language evokes strange images in which there is always a greensward of fine spiked grass in which hornets and snakes play a great part. I remember days long back when Stanley would invite me to visit his relatives; he used to make me carry a roll of music because he wanted to show me off to these rich relatives. I remember this atmosphere well because in the presence of these smooth−tongued, overly polite, pretentious and thoroughly false Poles I always felt miserably uncomfortable. But when they spoke to one another, sometimes in French, sometimes in Polish, I sat back and watched them fascinatedly. They made strange Polish grimaces, altogether unlike our relatives who were stupid barbarians at bottom. The Poles were like standing snakes fitted up with collars of hornets. I never knew what they were talking about but it always seemed to me as if they were politely assassinating some one. They were all fitted up with sabres and broad−swords which they held in their teeth or brandished fiercely in a thundering charge. They never swerved from the path but rode rough−shod over women and children, spiking them with long pikes beribboned with blood−red pennants. All this, of course, in the drawing−room over a glass of strong tea, the men in butter−colored gloves, the women dangling their silly lorgnettes. The women were always ravishingly beautiful, the blonde houri type garnered centuries ago during the Crusades. They hissed their long polychromatic words through tiny, sensual mouths whose lips were soft as geraniums. These furious sorties with adders and rose petals made an intoxicating sort of music, a steel−stringed zithery slipper−gibber which could also register anomalous sounds like sobs and falling jets of water.”

“Cieszy mię ten rym: „Polak mądr po szkodzie��;
Lecz jeśli prawda i z tego nas zbodzie,
Nową przypowieść Polak sobie kupi,
Że i przed szkodą, i po szkodzie głupi.”
― Jan Kochanowski

“A niechaj narodowie wżdy postronni znają,
Iż Polacy nie gęsi, iż swój język mają.”
― Mikołaj Rej

“Czy to możliwe, że mówiący po polsku ludzie są zdolni do takiej podłości? Przecież my jesteśmy szlachetni. Nasz naród to samo dobro. Co złe, to nie my. Wszystko co złe, to oni. Tylko oni. My nie, my walczymy tylko w słusznych sprawach. A jak już walczymy, to w sposób szlachetny. Szlachetnie zabijamy, a nie po barbarzyńsku.”

“Polak, jak dać mu wolność, to wszystkich przeskoczy.
Polak, jak musi czekać, to wpada w ��ł��ść.
Polak, jak myśli, to zawsze senny.
Polak, jak ponarzeka, zaraz zdrowszy.
Polak, jak przyjdzie wieczór, to zaraz wspomina.
Polak, jak widzi balkon, to chce skakać.
Polak, jak wpadnie w szał to biada, ślepej i gnuśnej Europie.
Polka, jak zechce rzuci miliardera.”
― Tadeusz Konwicki, The Polish Complex

“There are many probability axes in Allah's creation. Space, time and probability all have an axis on which it is possible to move. This is why they often refer to the greatest Sufi saints and Sheikhs as Qutubs, Poles, or Axial Centralities of the Universe.”

“When I was researching the book Toxic Electricity, I would see biological reactions for up to a week afterwards. They are typically strong in the first day or two after the electromagnetic field (EMF) exposures and tail off as the week goes on. I would feel fine during the EMF exposures and start seeing weird health effects usually during sleep that night. Extended time around high voltage power lines & power poles were the worst for provoking reactions, followed by wifi and transmitting utility meters.”

“Marzył mi się traktat o tragiczności i błazeństwie. U nas często tragizm chadza pod rękę z błazenadą. A ja w tym upatruję naszą siłę. Ja kocham to dwuznaczne pokrewieństwo, tę ryzykowną symbiozę, ten geniusz narodu zaklęty w dwóch postawach. Nasz tragizm opalizuje, mieni się niejasnymi barwami, bulgoce bezwstydem, dotyka brzegiem granic obleśności, krztusi się histerycznym chichotem. Nasze błazeństwo ma szloch w gardle, nasze błazeństwo gryzie palce do krwi, nasze błazeństwo wiąże powróz na własnej szyi.”
― Tadeusz Konwicki, The Polish Complex

“Тут можна було впиватися локальним гардкором, як впивалися ми �� бідні п'яні дурні з калічної країни, які раділи, що їм вдалося знайти ще більшого каліку за себе.”

“We have never solved the mystery of ice ages in the tropics, nor the equally strange mystery of the growth of corals and warm-climate flora in the polar zones.
[...]
It became obvious to me, as I reviewed these problems, and went back over the controversies that had marked their consideration, that a sort of common denominator was present. [...] [S]omebody usually tried to explain the particular problem in terms of changes in the position of the poles. This, I found, was the common denominator. The authors of such theories, unfortunately, were never able to prove their assumptions. The opponents of the notion of polar change always managed to point out fallacies that seemed decisive. At the same time, no one was able to reconcile all the evidence in the different fields with the idea that the poles have always been situated where they are now on the earth's surface.
The theory here presented would solve these problems by supposing changes in the positions of the poles. Campbell has suggested that the changes have occurred not by reason of changes in the position of the earth's axis, but simply through a sliding of its crust.”

“Florida has a very unreliable electrical utility power grid during hurricanes.”

“The last thing you want in a hurricane state is the electrical utility power grid above ground on tall poles!”

“Electrical utility companies put up power poles generally because it is cheaper than putting the power cables underground.”
