“Den Ersten Weltkrieg konnte ich noch absolvieren, ohne zu wissen, wie ein Maschinengewehr funktioniert. Zwei Mal meldete ich zu den Fliegern, einmal, weil ich mich mit dem Oberst verkracht hatte, das zweite Mal honoris causa, als der Untergang des Reiches sich abzeichnete. Gewiss hätte ich damit das Feld meiner Stärke verlassen; der Vater sah das viel besser; er sagte:” Du bist Infanterist und must dabei bleiben. Das ist eine gute Sache; zu Fuss kann man sich immer forthelfen.” Das war richtig und gilt für mich noch heute; hundert Schritt zu Fuss sind besser als tausend Kilometer im Flugzeug oder im Automobil.”

“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.

“Den Mangel an Erzählungen von guten Frauen, mutigen Frauen, respektierten Frauen, wichtigen Frauen, starken Frauen habe ich nicht hinterfragt. Wenn über diese Frauen nicht geschrieben wurde, nicht gesprochen wurde, dann hat das in mir kein Nachfragen ausgelöst: "Wo sind diese Frauen?"
Sondern nur ein resigniertes "Es gab diese
Frauen nicht."
Was nicht stimmt.
Es gab sie.
Es gab sie, die Frauen, die zusammenhielten, untereinander, und nach und nach kommen die Geschichten zusammen, Frauen schreiben über Frauen und Frauen schreiben für Frauen.”

“Den manliga galenskapen [...] kan nästan alltid härledas till antingen demens, eller geni. Därtill följer den vissa mönster av upphöjdhet som ofta bottnar i fåfänga och ofta blir monotona i ländgen. Den kvinnliga galenskapen däremot, är helt annorlunda. Den besitter något vidsträckt, och den verkar kunna anta ett oändligt antal olika skepnader. Det finns elasticitet i den, en elasticitet som påminner om kvinnokroppen i sig. Den typ av mörker som kan ta kvinnor i besittning är oändligt mycket mer krävande än det mörker som gör anspråk på männen. Och många kvinnor verkar på något sätt vara villiga att föda fram detta mörker! Jag tror det har den de extatiska aspekterna av en förlossning att göra. Kvinnor vet i sitt kött vilken glädje lidandet kan frambringa, och därför blir de mer öppna än män inför alla typer av gränstillstånd. Det är som de litar på lidandets positiva kraft.”

“Den som drikker, tømmer livet sitt for innhold, fyller livet sitt med mening. Den som drikker, fyller livet sitt med død. Den som har vært nær døden, vet hvor vakkert livet er. Og livet er vakkert og dyrebart fordi døden har satt sitt merke på det. Den syke vil bli frisk. Den døende vil leve. Men Jeg ville dø. Det var denne avgjørelsen som gjorde livet hans vakkert. Som fylte det siste året hans med mening.”

“Den svenska solens strålar påverkade min halvsemitiska pigmentering och utförde sina kosmiska trollkonster. Efter några veckors solbestrålning framtonade en typisk arab som efter solveckornas framskridande förvandlades till en mulatt.

“Dena had always been a loner. She did not feel connected to anything. Or anybody. She felt as if everybody else had come into the world with a set of instructions about how to live and someone had forgotten to give them to her. She had no clue what she was supposed to feel, so she had spent her life faking at being a human being, with no idea how other people felt. What was it like to really love someone? To really fit in or belong somewhere? She was quick, and a good mimic, so she learned at an early age to give the impression of a normal, happy girl, but inside she had always been lonely.”
