“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”

“Taki jest sens literatury, żeby cię wykoleiła z normalnej codzienności, żeby cię wystrzeliła w kosmos z tego zwykłego życia, żebyś się nie dał udupić. Żebyś nie słuchał rodziców, tylko żebyś słuchał Martina Edena, bo jednak, z całym szacunkiem dla rodziców, oferta, jaką on składa, jest ciekawsza.”

“(jeg liker godt å ligge i sengen og lytte til bråk, jeg forestiller meg ting, ser alt for meg; det minner meg om den gangen jeg var barn og foreldrene mine festet, jeg ble sendt til sengs, og her ligger jeg og hører lydene av min egen barndom, det er lyden av ensomhet og avstand, det må være fantasiens lyd, kanskje er det også skrivingens lyd)”
