“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.

― Dexter Palmer, Mary Toft; or, The Rabbit Queen

“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
