Den syke,håpløse fortærende lengsel etter Dem ligger i all denne tid som en mare på mitt hjerte hvert våkent, edru minutt.
Det e'n mann har bygd, kan en annen rive ned.
Her er bøkene jeg leser for årets leseutfordring hos Sarpsborg bibliotek.
Det første jeg gjorde etter at jeg hentet boka på biblioteket, var å sjekke gata jeg vokste opp i - Balchens gate. Begge foreldrene mine trodde at gata var oppkallt etter flygeren Bert Balchen, men her fikk jeg vite at den var oppkallt etter en prest på slutten av 1800-tallet, som t.o.m. satt to perioder på Stortinget!

Trenger klart en ny liste i år. Er nesten ferdig med bok #72 på liste 2, som er full (100 bøker) og skal hente 6 bøker på biblioteket denne uka.
..det jeg krevde av samlivet mellom mann og kvinne var overtro og ikke annet, like meget overtro som når fortidens villmenn åt sine modige fienders hjerte for å bli like modige.
Det tunge veggtømmeret, det lave taket med de svære bærebjelkene, som var vridd med dype revner innover peisen, som om de hadde stridd alltid for å fri seg fra den byrden mennesker hadde lagt på dem for århundre siden.
Trengte ikke noen liste 3 for 2022, dette blir i steden liste 1 for 2023
Mektige krigere var vi. Sterke om akslene, harde i nevene. Stive knær ble det sagt vi hadde, for vi knelte ikke for noen mann, verken jarl eller konge.
Ingen er farligere enn gamle krigere. For bare de aller beste blir gamle.
Kjøpte denne boka på AdLibris, Farväl, DDR : terror, övervakning och vardagsliv i Östtyskland 1945-1989 av Guido Knopp.
