Knut Hamsun Quotes

I Began Running So As To Punish Myself, Left Street After Street Behind Me, Pushed Myself On With Inward Jeers, And Screeched Silently And Furiously At Myself Whenever I Felt Like Stopping. With The Help Of These Exertions I Ended Up Far Along Pile Street. When I Finally Did Stop, Almost Weeping With Anger That I Couldn't Run Any Farther, My Whole Body Trembled, And I Threw Myself Down On A House Stoop. "Not So Fast!" I Said. And To Torture Myself Right, I Stood Up Again And Forced Myself To Stand There, Laughing At Myself And Gloating Over My Own Fatigue. Finally, After A Few Minutes I Nodded And So Gave Myself Permission To Sit Down; However, I Chose The Most Uncomfortable Spot On The Stoop.
