Meaningless Quote by Gaute Heivoll
““Most things are so meaningless. But then something unparalleled occurs, which rises in the sky like a flaming cloud and consumes everything. Then everything is changed and you yourself are changed and what you thought had value before has no longer any value for you at all. And you walk through the ash of everything And you yourself are ash. PÄR LAGERKVIST (1953)””
