“I've knitted myself a hat, it's plum red with an appealing lace pattern, I figured that a few air holes would be nice now that it's spring. I put it on and feel like a cranberry in the snow, and I wonder if they can see me from the moon. Me and the Great Wall.”
― Kjersti A. Skomsvold, The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am

“CUSTOMER: I read a book in the sixties. I don’t remember the author, or the title. But it was green, and it made me laugh. Do you know which one I mean?”

“Jeg tenkte på ting jeg hadde lest. At den som skal dø, mister sansene i minuttene før. En etter en. Først smakssansen, senere evnen til å lukte. Så forsvinner synet. Berøringssansen. Hørselen. Opplevelsen av smerte. Som å slukke lysene og gå fra kontoret for dagen, låse etter seg og miste nøklene på vegen hjem.”
― Johan Harstad, Buzz Aldrin, waar ben je gebleven?
