“I look out of the window again. The rain is trickling down silently, evenly, like the tears that cover my face. Perhaps God is in the water, in the raindrops. I put my hand against the cold pane to be close to Him. To be as close as I can without imposing.”
Hanne Ørstavik, Like sant som jeg er virkelig

“I have layer upon layer of thoughts in my head and the bottom one has nothing to grip on to.”
Hanne Ørstavik, Like sant som jeg er virkelig

“The sound of the car. When he's waiting he can never quite recall it. I've forgotten, he tells himself. But then it comes back to him, often in pauses between the waiting, after he's stopped thinking about it. And then she comes, and he recognizes the sound in an instant; he hears it with his tummy, it's my tummy that remembers the sound, not me, he thinks to himself. And no sooner has he heard the car than he sees it too, from the corner of the window, her blue car coming round the bend behind the banks of snow, and she turns in at the house and drives up the little slope to the front door.”
Hanne Ørstavik, °­Âáæ°ù±ô¾±²µ³ó±ð³Ù
