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

Augusto Boal
“Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it." ~”
Augusto Boal

Augusto Boal
“The smallest incidents of our social life contain all the moral and political values of society, all its structures of domination and power, all its mechanisms of oppression.”
Augusto Boal
