Quote by Karl Ove Knausgaard

“Geir gave me the chance to look at life and understand it, Linda gave me the chance to live it. In the first instance I became visible to myself, in the second I vanished. That's the difference between friendship and love.”

“Thus, in the relationship that the self has with itself, one finds a second duality developing whereby the inner self splits to have a sado-masochistic relationship with itself. When this happens, the inner self, which has arisen, we suggested, in the first place as a means of clinging to a precarious sense of identity, begins to lose even what identity it had to begin with.”

“Aber in unserem Kopf – oder vielleicht sogar der Kopf selbst – ist ein kleines Zimmer, in dem diese Dinge als Erinnerungen aufbewahrt bleiben. Ein Zimmer wie unsere Bibliothek. Und um über unseren genauen geistigen Zustand auf dem Laufenden zu sein, müssen wir die Karteikarten in diesem Zimmer ständig ergänzen. Wir müssen reinigen, lüften und das Blumenwasser wechseln. Anders ausgedrückt, man lebt auf Ewigkeit in seiner eigenen Bibliothek.”

“They say love is blind...but it isn't. Love is perfect sight. Love is the ability to see a person, I mean really see him-his strengths, his weaknesses, his flaws, all his past triumphs and mistakes-and view that person not as the world says you're supposed to see him, but as you see him-as that special someone you know you will always embrace, body and soul, no matter what anyone else says or thinks I know I can't tell anyone what I've been through. I know they wouldn't understand. They don't see him the way that I see him. All they know is the legend, the darkness. They don't know the inner beauty, the warmth and the joy more intense than anything I ever thought was possible to experience. They don't know the truth behind the name. My angel. My only. Lucifer.”
