Karl Ove Knausgård
“For the heart, life is simple: it beats for as long as it can. Then it stops.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 1

Tim Kreider

Tim Kreider, I Wrote This Book Because I Love You: Essays

Leonardo da Vinci

Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing

Neil Gaiman
“The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.”
Neil Gaiman, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
