Jens Bjorneboe Quotes

Culture Can Only Be Produced, It Can Only Be Created - Not Conserved, Not Saved Or Rescued. Culture Arises Without Our Really Being Aware Of It; In The Deepest Sense Culture Is Innocent And Unconscious. When An Egyptian Potter Turned A Pot On The Wheel, He Didn't Sit There Thinking That Now He Was Producing Egyptian Culture - He Was Working For A Living. That What He Made Was Also Lovely, Is Due To His Professional Skill - But Also To Something Extra Which Came Of Itself, Like Love. That Can't Be Rescued Either, When It Ends. It Comes And Goes Of Itself. Neither Culture Nor Love Can Be Saved, Not Even By The Police.
- "The Traitor" (1961)
