"mitologię, jako zbiór pouczających opowieści, które pomagają żyć"-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story
"Ojciec często powtarzał mu (...) że kobiety są z natury swojej zdradliwe i chwiejne. Rozmazane."-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story
"To proste - myślał Mieczyś Wojnicz, łykając łzy, które mieszały się z krwią zwierzęcia w jego wątłym ciele - być mężczyzną to nauczyć się ignorować to, co sprawia kłopot. Oto cała tajemnica."-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story
"Wojnicz już zauważył, że każda dyskusja, czy szło o demokrację, czy o piąty wymiar, czy o rolę religii socjalizm, Europę, wreszcie sztukę nowoczesną, wszystko w końcu sprowadzało się do kobiet"-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story
