Quotes by Sara Lidman (?)

“Om du tänker dig ett dike. Det är spadtag efter spadtag och det kan ju se galet ut för ett barn. Men en vuxen vet vart det leder, att det torrlägger marken så det växer bättre. Med varje spadtag tänker man på det kreaturet och på det. Man tänker på ofödda kalvar och på hästen, hur han skall orka bättre. Och när man tänker så, blir inte ett enda spadtag utan sin mening. Visst är det så? Men i Stockholm. Hur någon där kunde se vad för ett dike han stod uti och vad det skulle tjäna till att fäkta - det förstår inte jag.”

Hållningen.
Ingenting särskilt.
Och allt.
Och att.
Kom och var som du är.”
