A Quote by Stanislaw Lem

Every stink that fights the ventilator thinks it is Don Quixote. — © Stanislaw Lem
Every stink that fights the ventilator thinks it is Don Quixote.
If Martin Scorsese thinks you stink, you stink.
For me, life without literature is inconceivable. I think that Don Quixote in a physical sense never existed, but Don Quixote exists more than anybody who existed in 1605. Much more. There's nobody who can compete with Don Quixote or with Hamlet. So in the end we have the reality of the book as the reality of the world and the reality of history.
In my paranoid world every storekeeper thinks I’m stealing, every man thinks I’m a prostitute or a lesbian, every woman thinks I’m a lesbian or arrogant, and every child and animal sees the real me and it is evil.
I don't watch every fight; I am not huge on watching fights on TV. Because I did it my whole life. But I do watch the big fights. I follow the little fights too, sometimes; I just don't have to watch every single fight that happens.
Griffin Dunne and I were both terrified that Martin Scorsese didn't think we were very good - and if he didn't think we were very good, that was it. That was the end of the line. If Martin Scorsese thinks you stink, you stink.
Don Quixote was a song for a 1969 Michael Douglas movie called Hail Hero! I wrote the title song for the film and they also used the Don Quixote one I had submitted.
Theres no stink more sorrorful than the stink of wet, burnt paper. It means: the end.
I've seen people who stink, but the film editor shows them just where they didn't stink. But if you're empty and manipulative on stage, it's clear.
I see all my hard fights as title fights. Every time I go in there, I'm fighting for my life.
Don Quixote — I read that every year, as some do the Bible.
Inside every Sancho Panza there's a Don Quixote struggling to get out.
I've done many body scans. Every time your character fights in a different look, they'll rescan you. Because my character has taken so long to get a super suit, every time Mon-El fights, he's in something different.
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
Every autobiography is concerned with two characters, a Don Quixote, the Ego, and a Sancho Panza, the Self.
I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.
These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.
