"Life’s irony is that it is made up of two parts, one part in which one isn’t able to think, only to act, and another part in which one is able to think, but not to act."THE KNAUSGÅRD / HASSELBLAD SERIES – Nº11 Leonore Spee "Love"THE KNAUSGÅRD / HASSELBLAD SERIES – Nº4 Maarten Westra Hoekzema THE KNAUSGÅRD / HASSELBLAD SERIES – Nº5 Freek Vielen "Not because the heart was beating and couldn’t escape, it wasn’t that. The point was that the heart should not be seen, it should be allowed to beat in secret, hidden from our sight; it was obvious, you understood that when you saw it, a little animal without eyes, it should pound and throb inside your chest unseen."THE KNAUSGÅRD / HASSELBLAD SERIES – Nº16 Suzanne Grootenhuis "The impression of the face and the face itself are two different things, interwoven, a bit like those drawings that look like one thing if you look at the shading and another if you look at the other parts (...) Not only does it change from hour to hour depending on the moods that ebb and flow behind and all around it, but also from year to year depending on the kind of relationship you have to it. My mother’s face (...) appears mostly unchanged to me, what I see is ‘mum’, the way she has always been, but then she can turn her head slightly in a certain way and all of a sudden, like a shock, I see that she has become elderly now, a woman approaching seventy with perhaps no more than ten years left to live. Then she can turn again and say something, and once more all I see is ‘mum’."THE KNAUSGÅRD / HASSELBLAD SERIES – Nº42 Frieda Pittoors
