“How can all the small insects simultaneously know, without a brain, without knowing anything, that today they should visit this meadow, tomorrow that one? It's a question of knowing without knowing, and wanting without wanting. If you want something too intensely, things fall apart in your hands. You start to doubt everything. As soon as you let go, everything comes to you. Then you know, without knowing.””
Quotes by Erik Hansen
“When night falls people become as lonely as snowflakes floating down from a gray city sky. Now and again we fall past a streetlamp and are visible, a brief moment apart, REAL-- we can be seen. We exist. Then we vanish into the gray darkness and the earth draws us to it.””
“Everyone chats and smiles, chats about nothing, shouts and drinks themselves silly occasionally or all the time. They they die one fine day, old or young, they die, tucked up into the earth. That's what it's like. Swarming lives, with no meaning, no number.””
“There's no Saints; everyone lies. Everybody betrays everybody sooner or later too. The quicker you get that through your head, the better."From "Hostages””
“Yalnızlık böyle çalışır.Bu kadar yalnızsan, bundan daha kötüsü olamayacağını düşünürsün. İşte, o zaman daha da kötü olur. O anda seçim yapabilirsin. Haykırmak mı istediğini, yoksa odanda sessizce oturmak mı istediğini seçebilirsin. Ya da dışarıda durup kapıyı çalabilirsin.Eğer haykırıyorsan, bu, yalnızlığı ifade edecek yeterince sözcüğün olmadığındandır.””
“I never really had any God at all, just an imagined one, an inherited ghost.””
