“Pamiętasz jak raz powiedziałaś, że masz wrażenie jakbyś przez całe życie biegła? Dokładnie wiedziałem co masz na myśli, ze mną było tak samo. Biegłem sam, tak jak Ty. Ale przez te kilka lat miałem wrażenie, że biegniemy razem. Miałem wrażenie, że biegniemy do domu.”

“I am in a strange mood, sometimes I think the situation is unbearable and repugnant, then I think that perhaps this evening is a metaphor for my life; in my drunken state I think this is a perfectly reasonable comparison, that in fact it is my life that is either unbearable or repugnant, depending on how you look at it, but what kind of life is it if it is at best unbearable?”

“A workplace is like a microcosm of nature rules by the laws of evolution as one species dies out, and the whole system is destabilized and efficient mechanism kicks in to ensure the survival of everyone else and before long, there is a new system a new balance Nature's sole purpose of survival and the same is true of capitalism.

“No one, absolutely no one is irreplaceable, which is a depressing realization. A workplace is like a microcosm of nature, ruled by laws of evolution: As one species dies out and the whole system is destabilized, an efficient mechanism kicks in to ensure the survival of everyone else, and before long there is a new system, a new balance. Nature's sole purpose is survival, and the same is true of capitalism: A company is like a self-generating animal, a starfish that grows a new arm if a new arm is needed.”

When I was young I thought that all important decisions were made after careful consideration, that detailed research lay behind every step that was taken, that every change followed a negotiation with oneself, that every aspect of life was the result of active choices. But actually, stuff just happens.”
― Therese Bohman, Andromeda

“En bit bort på andra sidan Arbetets museum och Motala ström står skulpturen av Moa Martinson, som också jobbade vid vävstolarna, hon är bastant i sitt uttryck, ser barsk ut, och jag tänker att hon ser igenom huskropparna med sträng blick på konstskoleeleverna och tänker att de borde klippa sig och skaffa ett jobb. Jag tänker att hennes blick på mig är sträng också, att hon kan se på mig att jag vill ligga med hennes man. Förrädare, tänker hon om mig.”
