Quotes by Kjell Westö  (?)

“Herrajumala. Tätä ei ole olemassa. Tätä tunnetta ei ole olemassa."
Ja minä: "Mutta mehän tunnetaan se."

Kävellessäni seuraavana aamupäivänä pitkin Liisankatua nostin kaulaliinan kasvojen suojaksi jäätävää tuulta vastaan ja tiesin, ensimmäistä kertaa ymmärin, ja uskalsin myös sanoa sen:
En koskaan saisi häntä.
Rakastaisin häntä aina.”
Kjell Westö, Älä käy yöhön yksin

“Nationalismi ja heimoajattelu ovat sitkeitä tauteja. Niistä pääsee lukemalla ja matkustamalla”
Kjell Westö

“Varje människa är en mirakel.”
Kjell Westö, Gå ikke alene ut i natten
