Quote by Annie Ernaux

“Den mand der vendte tilbage den aften, er ikke længere den samme som ham jeg gik rundt med indeni gennem det år hvor han var her, og derefter mens jeg skrev. Den mand kommer jeg aldrig til at se igen. Ikke desto mindre er det denne uvirkelige, næsten ikke eksisterende tilbagevenden der giver min lidenskab den sande mening. Som er at være uden mening - og i to år at have været den mest voldsomme og mest uforklarlige virkelighed.”

Time reveals one’s allegiance. People are, who they are. Their intentions, however, either get revealed or change over a period of time. Hard truth!”

“Listen, I am your mother, nonetheless, I am saying this to you. And these may not have been the wisest two cents in our times, but perhaps, are in today’s times—love, you take your time to get married, no rush. Know a guy, well, very well, before you engineer lofty dreams in your head and heart, and take the big step. I do not care about the world; I care about my daughter and her heart more than anything else.”
