"Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous "I don’t know.""
— Wisława Szymborska, 1996
Wisława Szymborska’s poetry won her the Nobel Prize in 1996. Her speech was speckled with now-famous quotes, including the one above, as well this clever opener: “They say the first sentence in any speech is always the hardest. Well, that one’s behind me, anyway.” In her speech, she reflected that life is full of challenges, difficulties, and setbacks, but in trying to find solutions and continuing to push forward, we also find inspiration.
