Well but, everything has an end, and an earthworm it has two.
Even when your life seems most monotonous, what you do is always of real value — and importance to your fellow men.
When you get as old as I am and no longer have a husband or dog, and the children have long since left home, you can sit and get a little wiser by thinking. Then it’s time to edit your memories and start looking at your life again.

But you can also understand people and contexts in a new way.

Remember, when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing back at you.
Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
And that’s why life is hard.
I don’t think you should think too much about the fact that time is passing and you’re not a teenager anymore. Then you just get plagued and get even more wrinkles and look even more grumpy and sad.
I only earn 11 kroner per trip I sell, but it also becomes a part when I sell a million trips a year.
You won’t get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
