Olga Tokarczuk
“You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves... And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Robert   Harris
“March had a routine for reading the paper. He started at the back, with the truth. If Leipzig was said to have beaten Cologne four-nil at football, the chances were it was true: even the Party had yet to devise a means of rewriting the sports results. The sports news was a different matter. COUNTDOWN”
Robert Harris, Fatherland

Erik Larson
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
Erik Larson, The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz

Olga Tokarczuk
“Newspapers rely on keeping us in a constant state of anxiety, on diverting our emotions away from the things that really matter to us. Why should I yield to their power and let them tell me what to think?”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Yael van der Wouden
“That's what happens when people die. They take themselves with them and you never ever find out anything new about them ever.”
Yael van der Wouden, The Safekeep
