Quotes by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir (?)

“There was a kind of freedom in being almost the only person there who wasn’t wasted.”
― Eva Björg Ægisdóttir, You Can't See Me

“I’ve been thinking recently about how I can become a better man. When you make a start and it goes well, this acts as an incentive to continue down the same path.”

“Repoussant mon ordinateur, je me dis à voix haute que je ferais mieux d’arrêter ça. Jalouser les autres, ce n’est pas mon genre. Mais j’ai beau me répéter qu’ils doivent eux aussi avoir des problèmes, comme tout le monde, je ne peux m’empêcher d’imaginer ce que ça fait d’être un Snæberg.

Tout à l’heure, ils vont tous arriver à l’hôtel, et je verrai de mes propres yeux s’ils sont aussi parfaits qu’ils en ont l’air. Peut-être que j’ai justement hâte de voir les minuscules fissures dissimulent sous cette surface lisse. Car il est évident qu’ils ne sont pas parfaits.

Rien n’est parfait.”
― Eva Björg Ægisdóttir, Le Clan Snæberg

Eva’s Quotes

“I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark, drop on the floor so you could stomp on it.”
