Zitat des Tages von Karl Ove Knausgard:

My intention throughout has been to write, to create literature, and to be able to look people in the eye after I'd done it - the people I'd written about.

I'm giving away my family's story. Who owns the family's story? I don't. But you could turn it around and ask, 'Who is to deny me to write my family's story?' I have hurt people, but I don't think in a dangerous way. But you can't tell.

Karl Ove Knausgard

Karl Ove Knausgard

My intention throughout has been to write, to create literature, and to be able to look people in the eye after I'd done it - the people I'd written about.

Karl Ove Knausgard

Life develops, changes, is in motion. The forms of literature are not.

Karl Ove Knausgard

Saying what you believe others want to hear is, of course, a form of lying.

Karl Ove Knausgard

As a person, I'm polite - I want to please.

Karl Ove Knausgard
