“Etter å ha gått på dans i forskjellige ungdomshus i nokre år og stort sett dansa åleine, fann eg ein gong ut, det må ha vore seint på kvelden, og einkvan må nok ha gitt meg tilstrekkeleg å drikke, at eg skulle be ei jente opp til dans.”
― Jon Fosse, Prosa frå ein oppvekst

“From an early age I set myself above the monstrous fantasies of religion, being perfectly convinced that the existence of the creator is a revolting absurdity in which not even children believe any more; there is no need for me to restrain my tastes in order to please Him, it is from Nature that I received these tastes, and I should offend her by resisting them – if they are wicked, it is because they serve her purposes. In her hands I am nothing but a machine for her to operate as she wishes, and there is not a single one of my crimes that fails to serve her; the greater her need, the more she spurs me on – I should be a fool to resist her. Only the law stands in my way, but I defy it – my gold and my influence place me beyond the reach of those crude scales meant only for the common people.”
― Marquis de Sade, The 120 Days of Sodom

“I would, thank God, watch the universe perish without shedding a tear.”

“Ingen såg at raset gjekk, for det rasa så langsamt, det rasa ikkje dag for dag, ikkje eingong time for time, ikkje minutt for minutt, men det rasa, heile tida rasa det, for det var eit ras, det måtte jo vera eit ras, for kva anna kunne det vera?”
― Jon Fosse, Levande stein
