"The only ones who count are the living."

-Karl Ove Knausgård, Spring (Seasons Quartet, #3)

"If you are afraid of the dark, you seek the light. But what do you do when even the light is filled with terrors?"

-Karl Ove Knausgård, Spring (Seasons Quartet, #3)

"For that’s how it is, we cover up our mistakes and failings, we invent stories that put ourselves in a more favorable light. Self-deception is perhaps the most human thing of all."

-Karl Ove Knausgård, Spring (Seasons Quartet, #3)

"We come from far away, from terrifying beauty, for a newborn child who opens its eyes for the first time is like a star, is like a sun, but we live our lives amid pettiness and stupidity, in the world of burned hot dogs and wobbly camping tables. The great and terrifying beauty does not abandon us, it is there all the time, in everything that is always the same, in the sun and the stars, in the bonfire and the darkness, in the blue carpet of flowers beneath the tree. It is of no use to us, it is too big for us, but we can look at it, and we can bow before it."
