Quotes by Pentti Holappa (?)

“There is of course a difference between flying and flying. For some it is merely a way of moving, for others it represents freedom.”

“Dans l'obscurité l'homme doit se débrouiller seul.
Personne ne peut le faire pour lui. Mes rêves sont des vêtements
poisseux, en lambeaux, dont on a fait des serpillières,
il n'est plus possible de les laver, mais peu m'importe, d'autres souffrent plus que moi.
A ma façon je suis en bonne santé, définitivement malade.”
― Pentti Holappa
