“The poet Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz advises that if you’ve told a story more than three times in your life, it should be a poem.”

“Once upon a time, in a little green house at the top of the world, there lived a girl who knew that stories didn't stay in their books. She discovered that other people didn't know this, didn't want to know this, and so she hid the things she found. Now the girl was a mother, and she had her very own daughter; a clever, sweet creature who filled her life with color and beauty. And the mother began to show her child the secrets that no one else saw.”

“I never told you about the trip to Portugal 3 years ago when I read Fernando Pessoa at 1 a.m. outside a small family-run restaurant by the harbour. If I close my eyes I can still smell the salt water and the fish, some sort of cleaning powder scent from the kitchen, can still feel the heat, a soft wind and me sitting with wide open eyes on my own at 1 a.m. writing what I thought was profound and excellent. I felt like a writer then. I was not a girlfriend or a daughter or a songwriter who never got signed—I was a writer in the truest sense and I lived in my own flames.”

“Messages tonight, borne on the lights of Berlin . . . neon, incandescent, stellar . . . messages weave into a net of information that no one can escape. . . .”

“Spesso annoverato fra i viaggi in treno
più belli al mondo, il tragitto ferroviario Oslo–Bergen offre l’opportunità di ammirare alcuni dei paesaggi più straordinari del paese. Dopo aver attraversato le foreste della Norvegia meridionale, si sale fino allo sconfinato
altopiano Hardangervidda, per poi scendere attraverso i pittoreschi dintorni di Voss fino a Bergen. Lungo il percorso
il treno passa vicinissimo ai fiordi e si connette (all’altezza di Myrdal) con la diramazione ferroviaria che sale diretta su terreni ripidi verso la regione dei fiordi che si apre intorno a Flåm.”
