“One must keep one’s eyes and ears open, one must know how to match up the facts, see similarity where others see total difference, remember that certain events occur at various levels or, to put it another way, many incidents are aspects of the same single occurrence. And that the world is a great big net, it is a whole, where no single thing exists separately; every scrap of the world, every last tiny piece, is bound up with the rest by a complex cosmos of correspondences, hard for the ordinary mind to penetrate. That’s how it works. Like a Japanese car. ”

— Janina Duszejko, protagonist of the novel ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarezuk
