More quotes by Halldór Laxness
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.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
