Torgny Lindgren
“- Det var alltså själva affärsidén? Frälsningen?

- Och det eviga livet. Alla människor har vissa invändningar mot döden. De ogillar den. Jag lovade västerbottningarna att de skulle få leva i evighet. Jag drevs av ett tygellöst behov att oavbrutet gå till anfall mot döden och förintelsen. I själva verket kunde jag naturligtvis inget bevisa. Men jag trodde. Ingen kunde förbli oberörd av kraften och härligheten i min tro. Och alla vill försvinna på ett storslagnare och sannare sätt än genom döden. Befolkningen häromkring var förvånansvärt lättfrälst.

- Våra yngre läsare är inte särskilt intresserade av döden.”
Torgny Lindgren, Norrlands Akvavit

Svetlana Alexievich
“I'm not afraid of God. I'm afraid of man.”
Svetlana Alexievich, Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster

Stig Dagerman
“People demanded of those who were suffering their way through the German autumn that they should learn from their misfortune. No one thought that hunger is a very bad teacher”
Stig Dagerman , German Autumn

Cormac McCarthy
“You think people was meaner then than they are now? the deputy said.
The old man was looking out at the flooded town. No, he said. I don't. I think people are the same from the day God first made one.”
Cormac McCarthy, Child of God

Stig Dagerman
“But where is the root of suffering? He begins talking about the happiness of suffering, about the beauty of suffering. Suffering is not dirty, suffering is not pitiable. No, suffering is great because suffering makes people great...It is impossible to convince him that suffering is something unworthy.”
Stig Dagerman , German Autumn
