"Dzieło sztuki nie jest serią odpowiedzi, jest serią pytań. To nie odpowiedź oświeca, lecz pytanie."
/Eugène Ionesco/

"A work of art is not a series of answers, it is a series of questions. It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question."
/Eugène Ionesco/

a desk calendar that I made.

{the front of the calendar}:
"difficult questions/easy questions/I'm looking for the answers"
{January}: "what should a woman be like?/femme fatale or a girl from next door?"
{February}: "how to forget about winter?/where is this chill from?/can one love in the winter then?"
{March}: "what will help?/a journey?/a new dress?/simply go to sleep?"
{April}: "what shall I wear?/diamonds?/pinks, feathers and lace?/when one should leave the hat in the wardrobe?"
{May}: "a humdrum existence is becoming a nuisance?/what do you need now?/some time for yourself?"
{June}: "where have you been?/a confession?/do you think it's that easy to give your heart to somebody?"

{July}: "a kitchen stairway to heaven?/why iron the towels when they get creased anyway?/shall I clean up?/is it just enough to smell nice?"
[about the last question - this is what we say in Polish about ladies who don't do anything around the house and whose "job" is just to look nice. ;)]

{August}: "a walk in Paris?/how do you say it?/ parlez-vous français?"
{September}: "and you, what's inside you?/how much hope do you have?/how do you see the world?"
{October}: "what shall I do in life?/head in the clouds?/get real?"
{November}: "how not to go mad?/scream and stomp your feet?/and everything will be all right?"
{December}: "when?/in the future?/and now?/what's stopping you?"
