Gang Quote by Arnhild Lauveng
““Og all min handlende utagering hjalp like lite som ordene hadde gjort. De var mange og jeg var en og de tok meg med inn på isolatet og låste døra til glattcella. Jeg satt der alene hele dagen. En madrass, fire hvite vegger, ett grønnmalt betonggulv. Og meg, en appelsinmartyr, fengslet for appelsinens rett til å være en sitrusfrukt.””
