Karl Ove Knausgard Quotes

I Can't Speak For Other Writers, But I Write To Create Something That Is Better Than Myself, I Think That's The Deepest Motivation, And It Is So Because I'm Full Of Self-loathing And Shame. Writing Doesn't Make Me A Better Person, Nor A Wiser And Happier One, But The Writing, The Text, The Novel, Is A Creation Of Something Outside Of The Self, An Object, Kind Of Neutralized By The Objectivity Of Literature And Form; The Temper, The Voice, The Style; All In It Is Carefully Constructed And Controlled. This Is Writing For Me: A Cold Hand On A Warm Forehead.
