Quotes by Hans Keilson (?)

“I always knew that words are suitcases with false bottoms.”
― Hans Keilson, The Death of the Adversary

“Het zou allemaal veel makkelijker zijn als ik een doel had, wat denk jij? Een vraagje: heb jij wél een doel in je leven?'
Albrecht dacht na. Had hij in deze verwarrende tijd al zijn eigen plaats gevonden, had hij, jong en gezond als hij was, een helder doel voor ogen? Nee, hij liep maar wat rond en dacht hoogstens aan de volgende dag, hoe hij geld kon verdienen en kon leven en niemand tot last was, meer niet, iets groots zag hij niet gebeuren. Hij stond hoogstens af en toe stil in zijn gejaagde leventje om even op adem te komen, dan maakte hij zich los uit zijn dagelijkse routine en was hij een paar dagen tot niets meer in staat en lag hij als een dode op bed, ongestoord. Dat duurde maar kort en dan was hij weer de oude.”
― Hans Keilson, Life Goes On

“Literature is the memory of humanity. Anyone who writes remember, and anyone who reads takes part in these expriences. Books can be reprinted. The fact is, there are archival copies of books. Not of people.”
