Quote
One night I had been listening to [Goo], downstairs with Espen, we had been smoking hash, and I was lost in the music, literally, I saw it as rooms and corridors, floors and walls, ditches and slopes, small forests between apartment blocks and railway lines, and didn't emerge from it until the song stopped, it was like drawing breath because the next minute a new song started and I was caught again.

Quote
Everyone prioritizes. Everyone wants new jackets and new shoes and new cars and new houses and new caravans and new mountain cabins and new boats. But I don't. I buy books and records because they say something about what life is about, what it is to be a human here on earth.

Quote
That was where I had to go, to the essence, to the inner core of human existence. If it took forty years, so be it, it took forty years. But I should never lose sight of it, never forget it, that was where I was going. There, there, there.

Quote
Pomyślałem, że proza jest czymś, w czym można odpocząć, tak jak można odpocząć w jakimś miejscu, pod drzewem albo na leżaku w ogrodzie, i że to jest wartością samą w sobie.

Quote
De wereld was grenzeloos en onoverzichtelijk, het aantal gebeurtenissen eindeloos, het heden een openstaande deur die in de wind van de geschiedenis stond te klapperen. Maar zo voelde het niet. Het voelde alsof de wereld bekend was, volledig ontdekt en in kaart gebracht, alsof hij zich niet langer in onvoorziene richtingen kon bewegen, alsof er niets nieuws en verrassends meer kon gebeuren.
