Karl Ove Knausgard Quotes

Until I Moved To Stockhold I Had Felt There Was A Continuity To My Life, As If It Stretched Unbroken From Childhood Up To The Present, Held Together By New Connections, In A Complex And Ingenious Pattern In Which Every Phenomenon I Saw Was Capable Of Evoking A Memory Which Unleashed Small Landslides Of Feeling In Me, Some With A Known Source, Others Without. The People I Encountered Came From Towns I Had Been To, They Knew Other People I Had Met, It Was A Network, And It Was A Tight Mesh. But When I Moved To Stockholm This Flaring Up Of Memories Became Rarer And Rarer, And One Day It Ceased Altogether. That Is, I Could Still Remember; What Happened Was That The Memories No Longer Stirred Anything In Me. No Longing, No Wish To Return, Nothing. Just The Memory, And A Barely Perceptible Hint Of An Aversion To Anything That Was Connected With It.
