22 Quotes by Hjalmar Söderberg

One wants to be loved, in lack thereof admired, in lack thereof feared, in lack thereof loathed and despised. One wants to instill some sort of emotion in people. The soul trembles before emptiness and desires contact at any price.

Nothing so reduces and drags down a human being as the consciousness of not being loved.

Do not go to the bottom of things, or you will go to the bottom yourself.
