Gang Quote by Tore Renberg
““Er det virkelig slik, fortsatt han for seg selv, at livet dreier seg om å miste glede, at det er en reise som starter i hemningsløs og skingrene lykke, og for hver erfaring man får, så erstattes den av en refleksjon, og dermed forminskes den helt til man sitter der, tømt for all glede, kun bebodd av...tanker?””

Life is a journey that starts with boundless joy, but each experience replaces joy with reflection, gradually emptying us until only thoughts remain.
In simple terms: Joy fades into reflection.
Embrace moments before they become mere thoughts.
