Quotes by Vilhelm Moberg (?)

“According to what he tells us himself, Mrs. Fryxell used to say of Napoleon: 'I wish he could be punished for all his slaughter by having to go through a childbirth for every human being who was shot on his account'. (A. Fryxell: Min historias historia).”
― Vilhelm Moberg

“Dånet och sorlet från havsstranden fyller mina örons snäckor. Men de förmår inte driva undan mina förföljare: Mina tankars frågor ställes och upprepas. Men det finns inga svar åt dem --- de slår sönder sig bara, emot en granithård mur. De kastas tillbaka, sköljs bort. Men de kommer igen, alltid igen, som vågorna utifrån vattenvidden.”
― Vilhelm Moberg, A Time on Earth
