“I try to write about small insignificant things. I try to find out if it’s possible to say anything about them. And I almost always do if I sit down and write about something. There is something in that thing that I can write about. It’s very much like a rehearsal. An exercise, in a way.” IfsWayWritingTryingI CanExerciseDown AndSay AnythingInsignificantRehearsalInsignificant Things Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
“We live in the best of worlds. But still, it's like we've lost something on the way to here: a sense of life. I can't know for sure, I might be the only one who's lost it. Maybe everybody else is living the now, thinking they're having it well. Anyhow, that motivated me to write the books.” ThinkingKnowsWorldWayWritingWellsStillsI CanBookMightLostMotivated Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
