Per Petterson Quotes

I Have Putt The Change In The Till, I Have Cleaned And Made Room For New Bottles In The Cooling Sink, For Butter And Cheese In The Icebox. Now I Am Standing In The Shop Waiting By The Open Door Without Switching The Light On. I Like This Early Half-light, The Mild Air From The Sea, Standing Inside Looking Out Without Being Seen, And There Are Almost No Sounds From The Street, And I Can Think And Remember Who I Am Before Anything New Comes Along. Everything Happens So Fast It's Easy To Forget, Everything Is Exploding And Burning. But Now It Is Quiet.
