“I found my way to street level and into what optimists call 'fresh air”
― Gunnar Staalesen, Kalde hjerter

“It's not as if our lives are simply divided into light and dark. There's a shadowy middle ground. Recognizing and understanding the shadows is what a healthy intelligence does.”
― Haruki Murakami, After Dark

“Sometimes we’re all trying to purge something. And what we’re trying to purge resists our purging.”
― Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams

“Don’t misunderstand me—I’m not totally uncompetitive. It’s just that for some reason I never cared all that much whether I beat others or lost to them. This sentiment remained pretty much unchanged after I grew up. It doesn’t matter what field you’re talking about—beating somebody else just doesn’t do it for me. I’m much more interested in whether I reach the goals that I set for myself, so in this sense long-distance running is the perfect fit for a mindset like mine.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
