Karin Boye

“Sated, sated is the earth. All is eaten, drunk up, drained. What is it I lack, hunger and thirst for?”

“Armed, straight, and clad in armor I went forth. But with fear was the heart in my body.”

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for freeing me from myself.”

“I want to see my longing fulfilled, or I want to see it die.”

“And the pride that raises a tower of its loneliness, it is a prison, hard and cold.”

“My skin is full of butterflies.”

“Break up, break up! The new day is dawning. Endless is our great adventure.”

“Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking. Why else would spring hesitate?”

“Everything that is beautiful, everything that is true, has a tone of melancholy mixed in its blood.”

“Surely there is a goal and meaning in our journey - but it is the path, which is worth the effort.”

“You are my purest comfort, you are my strongest home.”

“The day of satiety is never the biggest. The best day is a day of thirst.”
