Karl Ove Knausgard Quotes

For, While Previously I Saw Time As A Stretch Of Terrain That Had To Be Covered, With The Future As A Distant Prospect, Hopefully A Bright One, And Never Boring At Any Rate, Now It Is Interwoven With Our Life Here And In A Totally Different Way. Were I To Portray This With A Visual Image It Would Have To Be That Of A Boat In A Lock: Life Is Slowly And Ineluctably Raised By Time Seeping In From All Sides. Apart From The Details, Everything Is Always The Same. And With Every Passing Day The Desire Grows For The Moment When Life Will Reach The Top, For The Moment When The Sluice Gates Open And Life Finally Moves On. At The Same Time I See That Precisely This Repetitiveness, This Enclosedness, This Unchangingness Is Necessary, It Protects Me. On The Few Occasions I Have Left It, All The Old Ills Return.
