“Troubles don't come alone,they like to arrive in groups”
“Strange star-like object over Oslo right before Obama arrives. A gift of a golden medal given by a group of wise men... Nah.”
“Splendid to arrive alone in a foreign country and feel the assault of difference. Here they are all along, busy with living; they don't talk or look like me. The rhythm of their day is entirely different; I am foreign. ”
“The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we're ready for it.”
“I had come to a place where I was meant to be. I don't mean anything so prosaic as a sense of coming home. This was different, very different. It was like arriving at a place much safer than home.”
“The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd, don't you think?”
