“I see everything as if in a dark mirror, as if through smoked glass. I view the world in the same way as others look at the Sun in eclipse. Thus I see the Earth in eclipse. I see us moving about blindly in eternal Gloom, like the May bugs trapped in a box by a cruel child. It's easy to harm and injure us, to smash up our intricately assembled, bizarre existence. I interpret everything as abnormal, terrible and threatening. I see nothing but Catastrophes. But as the Fall is the beginning, can we possibly fall even lower?”
― Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“Be careful about reading health books. Some fine day you'll die of a misprint.”

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
