More quotes by Halldór Laxness
Yes, it is a painful lot to be a poet and to love both God and man by the farthest northern seas!
Flowers are immortal. You cut them in autumn and they grow again in spring—somewhere.
Although grace comes from above, that is not to say that everyone has the ability to accept to it.
It's an old saying that one still has to know something, despite everything.
