Black and white Quote by Karl Ove Knausgård

“The only thing I have learned from life is to endure it, never to question it, and to burn up the longing generated by this in writing. Where this ideal has come from I have no idea, and as I now see it before me, in black and white, it almost seems perverse.” quote by Karl Ove Knausgård — Download Open image
