Olga Tokarczuk
“The best conversations are with yourself. At least there's no risk of a misunderstanding.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Gabriela Wiener
“Moving to another city is to change the accent of your affections.”
Gabriela Wiener, Sexographies

Dexter Palmer
“But here is what you need to understand - here is why you are in danger. Here is why you must speak, and why you must not allow us to speak for you. Because history is an act of continuous collective imagining, and the perception of truth is a constant, unending negotiation, with others, and with oneself when one is alone.”
Dexter Palmer, Mary Toft; or, The Rabbit Queen

Olga Tokarczuk
“Imagination is essentially creative; it is a bridge reconciling matter and spirit. Especially when it is done intensely and often. Then the image turns into a drop of matter, and joins the currents of life. Sometimes along the way something in it gets distorted and changes. Therefore, if they are strong enough, all human desires come true — but not always entirely as expected.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Primeval and Other Times

Ottessa Moshfegh
“People would be so much more at ease if they acted on impulse rather than reason. That’s why drugs are so effective in curing mental illness—because they impair our judgment. Don’t try to think too much.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation
