“Når folk senere i livet hørte, at Risten havde nordnorske aner, spurgte de ofte, om nordlyset ikke var et fantastisk syn. Jo, svarede hun så og skyndte sig at skifte emne. Sandheden var, at hun aldrig havde set det. Hun var jo ikke idiot.”

“It seems to me that the greatest adventure is to find a home in the world, particularly in the natural world, to earn a sense of belonging deeply to a place and to feel the deep response well up within you and become a part of you. When it is done, it can't be lost; the knowledge is as acute and sure as falling in love.”
― Cynthia Huntington, The Salt House: A Summer on the Dunes of Cape Cod

“This is what I know - Sam is dead. My brother is dead. My mother is dead. My father is dead. My husband is dead. My cat is dead. My dog, who was dead in 1957, is still dead. Yet still I keep thinking that something wonderful is about to happen. Maybe tomorrow.”
― Patti Smith, Year of the Monkey

“Jeg vidste godt, hvor grænsen gik, det er en hårfin balance, og vupti er man væltet over til de skøre. Jeg var som teenager klar over, hvordan jeg skulle opføre mig for ikke at virke reelt tosset, jeg havde lært at kende forskel på virkelighed og fantasi. Men jeg blev ved med at hengive mig til mine fantasier, til egne universer.”
