Olga Tokarczuk Quotes

Everyone Knows How To Cook Parasols - You Soak Them In Milk, Then Dip Them In Egg And Breadcrumbs And Fry Them Until They're Brown As Chops. You Can Do The Same Thing With A Panther Amanita That Smells Of Nuts, But People Don't Pick Amanitas. They Divide Mushrooms Into Poisonous And Edible, And The Guidebooks Discuss The Features That Allow You To Tell The Difference - As If There Are Good Mushrooms And Bad Mushrooms. No Mushroom Book Separates Them Into Beautiful And Ugly, Fragrant And Stinking, Nice To Touch And Nasty, Or Those That Induce Sin And Those That Absolve It. People See What They Want To See, And In The End They Get What They Want - Clear, But False Divisions. Meanwhile, In The World Of Mushrooms, Nothing Is Certain.
