Olga Tokarczuk
“have a Theory. It’s that an awful thing has happened—our cerebellum has not been correctly connected to our brain. This could be the worst mistake in our programming. Someone has made us badly. This is why our model ought to be replaced. If our cerebellum were connected to our brain, we would possess full knowledge of our own anatomy, of what was happening inside our bodies. Oh, we’d say to ourselves, the level of potassium in my blood has fallen. My third cervical vertebra is feeling tension. My blood pressure is low today, I must move about, and yesterday’s egg salad has sent my cholesterol level too high, so I must watch what I eat today.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“Rolling eyes = feminist pedagogy.”
Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life

Olga Tokarczuk
“But why should we have to be useful and for what reason? Who divided the world into useless and useful, and by what right? Does a thistle have no right to life, or a Mouse that eats the grain in a warehouse? What about Bees and Drones, weeds and roses? Whose intellect can have had the audacity to judge who is better, and who worse? A large tree, crooked and full of holes, survives for centuries without being cut down, because nothing could possibly be made out of it. This example should raise the spirits of people like us. Everyone knows the profit to be reaped from the useful, but nobody knows the benefit to be gained from the useless.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Augusto Boal
“It is not the place of the theatre to show the correct path, but only to offer the means by which all possible paths may be examined.”
Augusto Boal, Theatre of the Oppressed

Olga Tokarczuk
“Winter mornings are made of steel; they have a metallic taste and sharp edges. On a Wednesday in January, at seven in the morning, it’s plain to see that the world was not made for Man, and definitely not for his comfort or pleasure.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
