“What a stupid, fucking, idiotic country this was. All the young women drank water in such vast quantities that it was coming out of their ears, they thought it was "beneficial" and "healthy," but all it did was send the numbers of incontinent young people soaring. Children ate whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread and all sorts of weird coarse-grained rice that their stomachs could not digest properly, but it didn't matter because it was "beneficial," it was "healthy," it was "wholesome." Oh, they were confusing food with the mind, they thought they could eat their way to being better human beings without understanding that food is one thing and the notions food evokes another. And if you said that, you were either a reactionary or just a Norwegian, in other words ten years behind the times.”
― Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 2

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”

“You don’t perceive objects as they are. You perceive them as you are. Each”

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
