Quote by Johan Harstad

“Er zijn vergeten plaatsen. Net zoals er vergeten mensen zijn. Op die plaatsen vind je degenen die al vergeten waren voordat iemand zich hen herinnerde. Daar vind je degenen die nooit beroemd werden, van wie niemand ooit gehoord heeft, van wist, degenen die achterbleven toen het leven doorging. Dat is het eigenlijke niemandsland. Daar zijn geen voormalige beroemdheden, daar zijn geen astronauten die alleen maar oud en vergeten zijn. Daar zijn alleen degenen van wie je in principe al dacht dat ze niet bestonden.”

“I don't regret saying something," I said as he pulled down the street. He glanced at me."Well, I regret not punching him in the face." My lips twitched."Sorry. I couldn't let that happen." "I'm sure I'll get another opportunity," He muttered, squinting out the windshield.”
