“How often do you find yourself saying, “In a minute”, “I’ll get to it” or “Tomorrow’s good enough” and every other possible excuse in the book? Compare it with how often you decide it’s got to be done, so let’s get on and do it! That should tell you just how serious your procrastinating problem really is.”

“You are a cool cemetery.
You have the sinner’s grave
You have the saint’s earth
colliding
You have all the beds
narrow as a knife;
as if a rally of tombstones to defend death.
But you can’t really postpone
the inauguration of my burial,
can you?

From the poem - Few Words to Cemetery”

“Przyjaciele moi i przyjaciółki! Nie odkładajcie na później ani piosenek, ani egzaminów, ani dentysty, a przede wszystkim nie odkładajcie na później miłości. Nie mówcie jej "przyjdź jutro, przyjdź pojutrze, dziś nie mam dla ciebie czasu". Bo może się zdarzyć, że otworzysz drzwi, a tam stoi zziębnięta staruszka i mówi "Przepraszam, musiałam pomylić adres..." I pstryk, iskierka gaśnie”
