Quotes by Jan Kott  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“For Borowski, the son of Soviet prisoners and the posthumous child of Auschwitz, the whole world is a concentration camp—was and will be… Borowski called his book about Auschwitz ‘a voyage to the limit of a particular experience.’ At the limit of that experience Auschwitz is no exception but the rule. History is a sequence of Auschwitzes, one following the other.”
Jan Kott, This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

“Отсъствието на трагедия в един трагичен свят ражда комедия.”
Jan Kott, Shakespeare Our Contemporary

“Ancient Tragedy is loss of life, modern Tragedy is loss of purpose.”
Jan Kott, Shakespeare Our Contemporary
