Nick Jaina
“Writing a poem is like trying to halt a supertanker by holding a dandelion up to it. You can laugh at the frivolity of it. You can ridicule the person for doing such a thing. But—and I’m not saying this makes you one of them—when you laugh at poets, you laugh alongside tyrants. You are standing next to the powerful and the angry and the rich, and you might as well be a bully too, laughing at the weak person cutting snowflakes out of tissue paper. Yes, you are right. But is right everything you want to be?”
Nick Jaina, Hitomi

Karl Ove Knausgård
“what I didn’t know, or rather had absolutely no conception of, was that every step I took was defining me, every person I encountered leaving their mark on me, and that the life I was living at that particular time, boundlessly arbitrary as it seemed, was in fact my life. That one day I would look back on my life, and this would be what I looked back on. What then had been insignificant, as weightless as air, a series of events dissolving in exactly the same way as the darkness dissolved in the mornings, would twenty years on seem laden with destiny and fate.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, My Struggle: Book 6

Olivia Laing
“We crossed this river then and pulled away, and in the empty fields the lark still spilled praise.”
Olivia Laing, To the River: A Journey Beneath the Surface

Karl Ove Knausgård
“Beauty is a problem in that it imparts a kind of hope.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 6

Sara Gran
“The detective thinks he is investigating a murder or a missing girl. But truly he is investigating something else altogether, something he cannot grasp hold of directly. Satisfaction will be rare. Uncertainty will be your natural state. Sureness will always elude you. The detective will always circle around what he wants, never seeing it whole. We do not go on despite this. We go on because of it.”
Sara Gran, Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead
