Quotes by Sigurd Hoel (?)

“-Lengsel. Hvad er lengsel igrunnen?
tenkte han da han gikk videre.
Lengsel. Det tommes hunger efter noget som kan fylle det. Men kan det tomme fylle det tomme? O store ven predikeren, du har for alle tider sagt det som kan sies om alle ting.”
― Sigurd Hoel, Ingenting

“Hva vet et menneske om virkeligheten? Kan vi noengang skjelne mellom det som er vår egen private stemning, det som stiger opp av vårt eget indre altså, og det som når frem til oss som bølgeslag utenfra?”

“Jeg innså dumhetens uvurderlige betydning for alt åndelig arbeide - den sunne, medfødte eller ervervede, firkantete, jernbeslåtte dumhet, som sikrer sin mann mot hvert gløtt utenom hans eget verk eller bakenom hans egne motiver. Å, du herlige, sterke, hardføre dumhet, vikingen blant menneskets dyder, som verner mot selverkjennelse, vantro, fortvilelse og andre skammelige synder og laster, og i steden føder og fremelsker allslags forfengelighet. Du er i sannhet grunnlaget for all flid og fremgang i det åndelige.”
