AND IN THOSE DAYS SHALL MEN SEEK DEATH.

AND SHALL NOT FIND IT. AND SHALL DESIRE TO DIE.

AND DEATH SHALL FLEE FROM THEM.

The Morning Star by Karl Ove Knausgaard @ Bookshop

Quotes

People were so alike. They squealed when they saw a rat, hit the town in their droves when the sun came out, got married and had kids, forged careers, and then died. And for what? A promotion to departmental manager, partner in a law firm or whatever it was they did. And that was what they worked so hard for?

All just to lie there in the deep soil.

Who cared about their important jobs then?
