Quotes by Gaute Heivoll  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Most things are so meaningless. But then something unparalleled occurs, which rises in the sky like a flaming cloud and consumes everything. Then everything is changed and you yourself are changed and what you thought had value before has no longer any value for you at all. And you walk through the ash of everything And you yourself are ash. PÄR LAGERKVIST (1953)”
Gaute Heivoll, Before I Burn

“Kjære deg, la meg få skrevet dette før jeg brenner ned”
Gaute Heivoll, Før jeg brenner ned

“Skammen er et fugleegg du kan gjemme i hjertet.”
Gaute Heivoll, Drøm om de levende
