Stanislaw Lem Quotes

As More And More Norms Disappear From Social Praxis, Literature Faces Ever-growing Difficulties.

And Since The Relativization Of Cultural Norms Has Not So Far Been Able To Disturb The Given Characteristics Of Human Biology, That Is Where Writers Today Seek The Still Perceptible Points Of Resistance
which Is Why Literature Is Preoccupied With The Theme Of Sex.
