All young people do violence to themselves. Growing up is not child's play. I've written that sentence before. Repeated sentences are irritating. Or, are they the most important ones?"-Linda Boström Knausgård, Oktoberbarn

"I've always known I can write as though it were a matter of life or death. It is a matter of life or death. But life isn't meaningless when I'm not writing. The writing lives inside of me, I'm just waiting for battle and my capacity to work is such that it feels like all of me is singing. It's so easy. I follow the flow of words and nothing goes wrong. If it does, I sense it right away."-Linda Boström Knausgård, Oktoberbarn
