I don't think I am any different from other people. I have the same dreams. I want a family. I want a house. A car. Why shouldn't I want that? Everybody does. And when I have it, I want it all to work.
Erlend LoeI don't want all that much. But I want to be fine. I want to live a simple life with many good moments and a lot of fun.
Erlend LoeI think I'm more concerned with things that are very big and things that are very small than with all the stuff in between.
Erlend LoeOne problem with people is that as soon as they fill a space it's them you see and not the space. Large, desolate landscapes stop being large, desolate landscapes once they have people in them. They define what the eye sees. And the human eye is almost always directed at other humans. In this way an illusion is created that humans are more important than those things on earth which are not human. It's a sick illusion.
