"Like all orientations of the spirit, tenderness is a story we tell ourselves --
about each other, about the world, about our place in it and our power in it.
Like all narratives, the strength of our tenderness reflects the strength and
sensitivity of our storytelling. That is what the Polish psychologist turned
poet and novelist Olga Tokarczuk explores in her Nobel Prize acceptance
speech."
