“We want everything, we want to be everything. We want to experience all the joys of good fortune and the full depths of suffering. We want the excitement of action and the calm of observation. We want the silence of the desert as well as the noise of the forum. Simultaneously we want to be the hermit´s thought and the voice of the people; we want to be both melody and harmony. Simultaneously! How could this be possible?”
― Hjalmar Söderberg, Doctor Glas

“People want to be loved; failing that admired; failing that feared; failing that hated and despised. They want to evoke some sort of sentiment. The soul shudders before oblivion and seeks connection at any price.”
― Hjalmar Soderberg, Doctor Glas

“Argue for your limitations and you get to keep them.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

“De flesta andra människor verkade helt enkelt ha en avundsvärd förmåga att leva sina liv utan att blanda in sig själva alltför mycket.”
― Therese Bohman, Aftonland
