Att döda ett barn Quotes

“But so uncaring is life against the man who has killed a child that everything after is too late.”
― Stig Dagerman, Att döda ett barn

“For so uncaring is life constructed that a minute before a happy man kills a child he is still happy and a minute before a woman screams with fear she can close her eyes and dream of the sea and the last minute of a child's life this child's parents can sit in the kitchen and wait for sugar and speak of their child's white teeth and about a rowing boat and the child itself can close a gate and start walking across a road with a few lumps of sugar wrapped in white paper in its right hand and this entire last minute nothing see except a long, shiny river and a broad boat with silent oars.”
― Stig Dagerman, Att döda ett barn
