Quotes from Marek Hlasko

The road that led me to literature was very different from the one followed by my fellow writers in Poland.

At first, one believes in love. Then one crosses a border, a border of time. Then that belief, too, is lost.

I've lost Poland. Without Poland, I go down. I've been thrown out; yet I love my country.

I can't dream about immortal fireflies, but I can fight for human freedom.
