Linda Olsson Quotes

• It's often about the simple things, isn't it? Painting and photography are first about seeing, they say. Writing is about observing. Technique is secondary. Sometimes the simple is the most difficult.

• I lay down on the bed clasping the pictures and buried my face in the pillow in a vain attempt at silencing my sobs. But it was as if all my life's accumulated grief had finally found an outlet and was allowed to take its course. I screamed, I cried, until the grief became bearable. (174)

• Take risks! That is really what life is about. We must pursue our own happiness. Nobody has ever lived our lives; ther are no guidelines. Trust your instincts. Accept nothing but the best. But then also look for it carefully. Don't allow it to slip between your fingers. Sometimes, good things come to us in a such a quiet fashion. And nothing comes complete. It is what we make of whatever we encounter that determines the outcome. What we choose to see, what we choose to save. And what we choose to remember. Never foget that all the love in your life is there, inside you, always.

• Los recuerdos parecen aflorar sin orden ni fecha. El ayer puede parecer tan lejano como el año pasado. Mi vida se compone ahora de fragmentos en los que algunos son tan cegadores en su intensidad que hacen que todo lo demás sea indistinguible. Es como si mi existencia se hubiera extinguido en un instante, y después mi universo se hubiera vuelto incomprensible. Quiero recordarlo todo. Pero tal vez necesite más tiempo. Permitirme un poco de descanso. Distanciarme un poco, para ver si puedo distinguir un patrón. Y enfrentarme a la verdad de lo que realmente existe.

• Sometimes we are given exactly what we need. The precise people that you need the most come stumbling into your life. Sometimes you don't notice, and this is very sad. Sometimes you lose them again. This is sad too, but not as sad. Because what you have once had together you have forever.

• Like memories. You can make yourself believe that they have been erased. But they are there, if you look closely. If you have a wish to uncover them.
