Karl Ove Knausgård
“We come from far away, from terrifying beauty, for a newborn child who opens its eyes for the first time is like a star, is like a sun, but we live our lives amid pettiness and stupidity, in the world of burned hot dogs and wobbly camping tables. The great and terrifying beauty does not abandon us, it is there all the time, in everything that is always the same, in the sun and the stars, in the bonfire and the darkness, in the blue carpet of flowers beneath the tree. It is of no use to us, it is too big for us, but we can look at it, and we can bow before it.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Spring

“You smiled as you saw my face approaching, because you didn’t know what tears were either.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Spring

Jenny Odell
“But here I come back to Deleuze’s “right to say nothing,” and just because this right is denied to many people doesn’t make it any less of a right or any less important.”
Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy

Jhumpa Lahiri
“When I write in Italian, I think in Italian; to translate into English, I have to wake up another part of my brain. I don’t like the sensation at all. I feel alienated. As if I’d run into a boyfriend I’d tired of, someone I’d left years earlier. He no longer appeals to me.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other Words: A Memoir

“A new language is almost a new life, grammar and syntax recast you, you slip into another logic and another sensibility.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other Words: A Memoir
