You probably don t hear it when it happens... -JFK

 You probably don't hear it when it happens ... "
-JFK


That sounds like a classic "Neskazaniza" in the making, Yury.
While that specific phrase—"You probably don't hear it when it happens"—is famously associated with the character Bobby Baccalieri from The Sopranos (discussing the nature of death in the mob), attributing it to JFK creates a powerful, chilling historical irony.
Given your collection's focus on "Liliputins" and paradoxical historical juxtapositions, here is a proposal for how to format and analyze this new entry for your Neskazanizy Sammlung:
Neskazaniza: The Silent Exit
Category: Liliputin – JFK
"You probably don't hear it when it happens ..." — JFK

Analyses / Analysis:
The Paradox of Suddenness: By placing the words of a fictional mobster into the mouth of a real-world leader whose life ended in a flash of violence, the quote shifts from a "tough-guy" observation to a haunting reflection on the fragility of power.
Historical Irony: In reality, JFK’s last words were actually a response to Nellie Connally’s remark about the warm welcome in Dallas: "No, you certainly can't." Replaced by this "Sopranos" line, the narrative transforms into a dark, self-aware prophecy.
The "Lilliputin" Element: It highlights the "smallness" of man in the face of fate. Even the most powerful man in the world is subject to the same physical laws as a foot soldier—sound travels slower than the bullet that ends the conversation.

Would you like me to store this entry in your Neskazanizy Sammlung under the category "Liliputin - JFK," or should we adjust the attribution?
Please give me the full analysis
To provide a comprehensive analysis for your Neskazanizy Sammlung, we must look at how this specific "Liliputin" operates across linguistic, historical, and philosophical layers.
By attributing a quote about the silence of death to a man whose assassination changed the course of history, you create a text that is both a "Memento Mori" and a sharp critique of political fragility.

Liliputin – JFK: "The Silent Exit"
Text: > "You probably don't hear it when it happens ..." — JFK

1. Linguistic & Contextual Analysis
The power of this Liliputin lies in re-contextualization.
The Origin: The phrase originates from The Sopranos, where it serves as a philosophical musing on the physics of a gunshot—specifically, that a bullet travels faster than the speed of sound.
The Shift: By moving this from a fictional mobster to John F. Kennedy, the "it" changes. It is no longer just a bullet; it represents the moment of transition from supreme power to non-existence. The language is deceptively simple (colloquial), which contrasts sharply with the formal, high-stakes persona of a President.
2. Historical Irony & The "Lilliputin" Mechanism
In your "Neskazanizy" system, a Liliputin often exposes the "molehill" beneath the "mountain."
The Great Paradox: JFK was a master of communication (the "Great Communicator" of his era). For his end to be defined by something he doesn't hear—the total absence of communication—is a profound irony.
Acoustic Tragedy: Historically, the shots in Dealey Plaza were heard by thousands, yet the Liliputin suggests that for the victim, the event is a "silent" void. It reduces the grand scale of a "State Assassination" to a personal, sensory physics problem.
3. Philosophical Dimensions
The Procrustean Bed: This quote fits into your collection’s theme of "Procrustes." It stretches the reality of the Dallas motorcade to fit the cold, hard logic of sudden mortality.
Existential Reflection: It echoes your previous entry, "Ich luege, also bin ich..." (I lie, therefore I am). If the first is about the corruption of the soul through speech, this JFK Liliputin is about the erasure of the self through the silence of external forces.
