Karin Boye Quotes & Sayings

And is this not the very reason for the establishment of the State? If there were cause and reason for confidence among individuals, the State would never have come into existence.

The sated day is never first
The best day is a day of thirst
Yes, there is goal and meaning in our path -
but it is the way that is the labour's worth. — Karin Boye
