"mitologię, jako zbiór pouczających opowieści, które pomagają żyć"

-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story

-Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story

-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"
