Favorite Jaroslav Haek Quotes

1. "All along the line,' said the volunteer, pulling the blanket over him, 'everything in the army stinks of rottenness. Up till now the wide-eyed masses haven't woken up to it. With goggling eyes they let themselves be made into mincemeat and then when they're struck by a bullet they just whisper, "Mummy!" Heroes don't exist, only cattle for the slaughter and the butchers in the general staffs. But in the end every body will mutiny and there will be a fine shambles. Long live the army! Goodnight!" ~ Jaroslav Hašek
2. "When afterwards he mentioned the names of the Tartars he had got to know on his pilgrimage, like Hallimulabalibay, to which he added a whole string of names he had himself invented, like Valivolavalivey, Malimulamalimey, Lieutenant Lukas could not stop himself from sying: 'I'll kick your backside, you mule. Go on, and be brief and to the point!" ~ Jaroslav Hašek
3. "This is what opportunity brings with it. It's the self-determination of man. Every man in the course of his life eternal life undergoes countless changes and has to appear once in this worlds as a thief in certain periods of his activity." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
4. "Vopravdu nevím, proc se ti blázni zlobejí, když je tam drží. Clovek tam muže lézt nahej po podlaze, vejt jako šakal, zurit a kousat. Jestli by to udelal clovek nekde na promenáde, tak by se lidi divili, ale tam to patrí k necemu prachobycejnýmu. Je tam taková svoboda, vo kerej se ani socialistum nikdy nezdálo." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
5. "After debauches and orgies there always follows the moral hangover." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
6. "When Švejk subsequently described life in the lunatic asylum, he did so in exceptionally eulogistic terms: 'I really don't know why those loonies get so angry when they're kept there. You can crawl naked on the floor, howl like a jackal, rage and bite. If anyone did this anywhere on the promenade people would be astonished, but there it's the most common or garden thing to do. There's a freedom there which not even Socialists have ever dreamed of." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
7. "Jesus Christ was innocent too,' said Svejk, 'and all the same they crucified him. No one anywhere has ever worried about a man being innocent. Maul halten und weiter dienen ['Grin and bear it and get on with the job'] - as they used to tell us in the army. That's the best and finest thing of all." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
8. "And somewhere from the dim ages of history the truth dawned upon Europe that the morrow would obliterate the plans of today." ~ Jaroslav Hašek
9. "The lieutenant's fooling around again with the telegraph girl at the station," said the corporal, after he had gone. "He's been running after her for a fortnight and he's always frightfully furious when he comes from the telegraph office and he says about her: "She's a whore. She won't sleep with me!" ~ Jaroslav Hašek
