Tove Ditlevsen
“childhood falls silently to the bottom of my memory, that library of the soul from which I will draw knowledge and experience for the rest of my life.”
Tove Ditlevsen, Childhood

Joan Didion
“We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the “ideas” with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
Joan Didion, The White Album: Essays

Tove Ditlevsen
“That’s the worst thing about grownups, I think – they can never admit that just once in their lives they’ve acted wrongly or irresponsibly. They’re so quick to judge others, but they never hold Judgement Day for themselves.”
Tove Ditlevsen, Childhood

Tove Ditlevsen
“Childhood is long and narrow like a coffin, and you can’t get out of it on your own.”
Tove Ditlevsen, Childhood

Tove Ditlevsen
“Childhood is dark and it’s always moaning like a little animal that’s locked in a cellar and forgotten. It comes out of your throat like your breath in the cold, and sometimes it’s too little, other times too big. It never fits exactly. It’s only when it has been cast off that you can look at it calmly and talk about it like an illness you’ve survived.”
Tove Ditlevsen, Childhood
