“The promise was a strong tie, hard, but I knew where I stood. If it’s gone, I don’t know where I am. When there’s a strange scent in the spring twilight, I know least of all”— Tarjei Vesaas, from The Ice Palace (Owen Publishers, 2002; first published 1963)
“If there were such a thing as a telescope that could be trained on the past, I could have said: Look, that’s us, let’s find out what really happened. And every time we began to doubt whether what I remember is true or what you remember is true or whether what happened really happened, or whether we even existed, we could have stood side by side and looked into the telescope together.”— Linn Ullmann, from Unquiet (W. W. Norton Company, 2019; first published 2015)
