Olga Tokarczuk
“Shouldn’t women dress up in some sort of uniform too, and wear medals according to how many children they’ve had, how many dinners they’ve cooked, or how many patients they’ve nursed? That would be both beautiful and fair.”
Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story

Salman Rushdie
“Waiting is thinking, and to think deeply is, very often, to change one’s mind.”
Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder

Olga Tokarczuk
“We are shaped not by what is strong in us but by the anomaly, by whatever is weak and not accepted.”
Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story

Olga Tokarczuk
“The worst thing possible is to feel fully valued by others, and particularly – as I would put it – to be considered of standard value. It means we become literalized, and we come to a halt in the development that a lack of full appreciation prompts us to strive towards. When a person recognizes that he has become perfect and fulfilled, he should kill himself.”
Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story

Salman Rushdie
“Something strange has happened to the idea of privacy in our surreal time. Instead of being cherished, it appears to have become, a valueless quality—actually undesirable. If a thing is not made public, it doesn’t really exist. Your dog, your wedding, your beach, your baby, your dinner, the interesting meme you recently saw—these things need, on a daily basis, to be shared. Where attention has become the thing most hungered for, where the quest for followers and likes is the new gluttony, privacy has become unnecessary, unwanted, even absurd.”
Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
