Quotes by Majgull Axelsson (?)

“Only the most ignorant still believe, like Saint Augustine, that time is a river. We others know it is a delta: that it branches out and seeks new routes, that it rejoins itself only to seek a thousand new courses. Some may be waterfalls, some no more than little stagnant pools passed by the tide, forever still...

This is one of those times. A pool. I sink down in it. I want to stay forever in this water.”
― Majgull Axelsson, April Witch

“The future was on the way, and it was as critical as a mother-in-law, expecting everything to be neat and tidy when it arrived.”
― Majgull Axelsson, April Witch

“Det är ju med de kyrksamma som med trubadurer och diktläsare, man vet aldrig riktigt när de tänker bli pinsamma”
