Quotes by Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold (?)

“I've knitted myself a hat, it's plum red with an appealing lace pattern, I figured that a few air holes would be nice now that it's spring. I put it on and feel like a cranberry in the snow, and I wonder if they can see me from the moon. Me and the Great Wall.”
― Kjersti A. Skomsvold, The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am

“I used to read the obituaries to gloat over all the people I've outlived, but now I don't think it matters, we all live for just a moment anyway.”
