Quote by Neil Gaiman

- Wy, ludzie, mówicie o ?yciu i ?mierci, jakby to by?y dwie rzeczy wzajemnie si? wykluczaj?ce, jakby nie istnia?a rzeka, b?d?ca równie? drog?, czy pie??, b?d?ca kolorem.- Bo nie istniej? - odpar? Cie?. - Prawda? - Echa znad wody powtarza?y szeptem jego s?owa.- Musisz pami?ta? - rzek? cierpko pan Ibis - ?e ?ycie i ?mier? to dwie strony tej samej monety, jak orze? i reszka na ?wier?dolarówce.- A gdybym mia? ?wier?dolarówk? o dwóch or?ach?- Ale nie masz. Miewaj? je tylko g?upcy i bogowie.


- Wy, ludzie, mówicie o ?yciu i ?mierci, jakby to by?y dwie

Summary

In this quote, the characters are discussing the concept of life and death. The voice asks why people talk about them as if they are two completely separate things, suggesting that just like a river can be both a road and a footpath, life and death may not be opposing forces. Cie? responds by stating that they do not exist, leading to echoes from the water reinforcing his words. Pan Ibis adds that life and death are two sides of the same coin, like heads and tails on a quarter. When asked about a quarter with two heads, Pan Ibis dismisses it, saying that only fools and gods possess such coins. This quote challenges the notion that life and death are completely different entities and suggests that they may be interconnected, part of the same cycle.
