“I'm very much against the arrangement of procreation, at least for humans. If I could have designed it, it would be a toss-up who gets pregnant, the man or woman. Boy, that would end rape for one thing. And 'woman artist'? Disgusting.”

“You are right; I am not good at moving in society. Be merciful. You do not understand me; I live in the woods by choice--that is my happiness. Here, where I am all alone, it can hurt no one that I am as I am; but when I go among others, I have to use all my will power to be as I should.”
― Knut Hamsun, Pan

“Tek jesen je pokazala kako su plitkog korena i kratkog veka bile moje obmane. I ne samo jesen. Jelene je nestalo iz svih mojih godišnjih doba.”

“Ali, proleće je. Opet proleće. Bogat sam, miran, i mogu da čekam. Da, ničeg nije bilo i ničeg nema, jasnog i sigurnog, ali ništa nije izgubljeno ili isključeno, nepovratno i potpuno. Znam da u svetu ima mnogo napola otvorenih prozora u koje kuca prolećni vetrić, sunčevih odblesaka na metalu i u vodi, praznih sedišta u kupeima, ustalasanih povorki i obasjanih lica u prolazu. Slutim i hiljade drugih i nepoznatih mogućnosti i prilika.”
