“The sound of the car. When he's waiting he can never quite recall it. I've forgotten, he tells himself. But then it comes back to him, often in pauses between the waiting, after he's stopped thinking about it. And then she comes, and he recognizes the sound in an instant; he hears it with his tummy, it's my tummy that remembers the sound, not me, he thinks to himself. And no sooner has he heard the car than he sees it too, from the corner of the window, her blue car coming round the bend behind the banks of snow, and she turns in at the house and drives up the little slope to the front door.”

“Если звонят вечером, она велит ему подходить к телефону. А потом выспрашивает, кто звонил, какой у него был голос. Что человек сказал, услышав, что ее нет дома. Иногда она перезванивает сама через какое-то время. Нельзя позволять чужим людям управлять твоим временем.
Hanne Ørstavik, Kjærlighet

Hanne Ørstavik, Kjærlighet
“А когда я состарюсь, мы сядем в поезд – и вперед. Он умчит нас далеко-далеко. Мы будем любоваться горами, городами и морями за окном, болтать с попутчиками из разных стран. И не расстанемся вовек. И никогда никуда не приедем.”
Hanne Ørstavik, Kjærlighet
“Единение душ пестуется в тишине, пока не окрепнет настолько, чтоб выдержать поверхностную приблизительность слов.”
Hanne Ørstavik, Kjærlighet
