“All my life I have been passionately interested in monomaniacs of any kind, people carried away by a single idea. The more one limits oneself, the closer one is to the infinite; these people, as unworldly as they seem, burrow like termites into their own particular material to construct, in miniature, a strange and utterly individual image of the world.”
― Stefan Zweig, Chess Story

“Det handla ikkje om rett og gale, men om makt, altså om retten til den sterkaste.”
― Kjartan Fløgstad, Grense Jakobselv

“Men jeg tror vi kunde være helstøpte de fleste av oss hvis vi bare undte andre å bli det.”
― Aksel Sandemose, En flyktning krysser sitt spor

“How many times, by God’s bloody prick, have I longed to be able to detonate planets, to destroy the sun itself, to pluck it from the universe and crash it into the earth, annihilating all Creation and replacing it with a lightless void of violence.

― Marquis de Sade, The 120 Days of Sodom
