Filed Under Aphorisms | 9 Comments

Mica M. Tumaric comes from the anarchic, acerbic, antic aphoristic alembic that is the Balkans. Born in Novi Sad in 1949, he is a journalist by profession and, like most of his fellow Serbian aphorists, a satirist by vocation. His work has been translated into English, Russian, Hungarian, Romanian, Ruthenian, Slovak, Macedonian and Bulgarian, among other languages.

After all the doors opened, we were left with a draft.

The hungry have had their fill of promises.

He’s in great shape; he keeps running from the truth.

We struggled to gain freedom of speech; now we can’t get a word in edgewise.

    Truth: the less said, the better.

    Free speech is relative to the number of words not spoken.

    The true key’s the one that doesn’t open any lock.

    You can be tortured for the sake of truth, but many lies may go unquestioned.

    If you had to pay for stupidity, to declare bankruptcy would not be stupid.

    Indifference is something to be indifferent towards, but not to be indifferent over.
