Tomorrow - that's today

[Christensen, Jason]

There is no source given for this quotation where it is listed along with other Mrozek quotations on http://pl.wikiquote.org/wiki/S%C5%82awomir_Mro%C5%BCek, which may suggest that it was never published in a larger work.

I wonder whether anyone knows the source. The Polish film Seksmisja begins with a quotation dated in 1981 and attributed to Slawomir Mrozek: "... jutro to dzis -- tyle ze jutro." (... tomorrow: that's today, except that [it's] tomorrow.")

Having read about two hundred titles (many quite short) by Mrozek published through the year the film was finished (1983, released 1984) with no result, I'm hoping someone might know or be somewhat sure about the source (rather than perhaps suggest what titles by Mrozek are available).

Thanks if anyone can help.




What about this? Not exactly the same, but close.

"Obudziwszy się nazajutrz stwierdziłem, że znowu jest dzisiaj, zupełnie tak samo jak wczoraj. Ponieważ nowe życie miałem zacząć od jutra, dzisiaj nie mogłem zacząć nowego życia."

Opowiadania, Tom 3, 1999 (Noir sur Blanc), p. 415.

Hope that helps,
