Text Quotes
You must go on a long journey before you can really find out how wonderful home is (Tove Jansson Quotes)
There are those who stay at home and those who go away, and it has always been so. Everyone can choose for himself, but he must choose while there is still time and never change his mind (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Lie on the bridge and watch the water flowing past. Or run, or wade through the swamp in your red boots. Or roll yourself up and listen to the rain falling on the roof. It’s very easy to enjoy yourself (Tove Jansson Quotes)
A person can find anything if he takes the time, that is, if he can afford to look. And while he’s looking, he’s free, and he finds things he never expected (Tove Jansson Quotes)
All men have parties and are pals who never let each other down. A pal can say terrible things which are forgotten the next day. A pal never forgives, he just forgets, and a woman forgives but never forgets. That’s how it is. That’s why women aren’t allowed to have parties. Being forgiven is very unpleasant (Tove Jansson Quotes)
One summer morning at sunrise a long time ago I met a little girl with a book under her arm. I asked her why she was out so early and she answered that there were too many books and far too little time. And there she was absolutely right (Tove Jansson Quotes)
The hemulen woke up slowly and recognised himself and wished he had been someone he didn’t know (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Gathering is peculiar, because you see nothing but what you’re looking for. If you’re picking raspberries, you see only what’s red, and if you’re looking for bones you see only the white. No matter where you go, the only thing you see is bones (Tove Jansson Quotes)
It is still summer, but the summer is no longer alive. It has come to a standstill; nothing withers, and fall is not ready to begin. There are no stars yet, just darkness (Tove Jansson Quotes)
There’s no need to imagine that you’re a wondrous beauty, because that’s what you are (Tove Jansson Quotes)
A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world, because that’s where people are shown what they could be if they wanted, and what they’d like to be if they dared to and what they really are (Tove Jansson Quotes)
She started thinking about all the euphemisms for death, all the anxious taboos that had always fascinated her. It was too bad you could never have an intelligent discussion on the subject. People were either too young or too old, or else they didn’t have time (Tove Jansson Quotes)
I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know. Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven’t said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Malander had an idea and was trying to work it out, but it would take him time. Sometimes people never saw things clearly until it was too late and they no longer had the strength to start again. Or else they forgot their idea along the way and didn’t even realise that they forgotten (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Some people just shouldn’t be disturbed in their inclinations, whether large or small. A reminder can instantly turn enthusiasm into aversion and spoil everything (Tove Jansson Quotes)
One can’t be too dangerous, if they like to eat pancakes. Especially with jam on it (Tove Jansson Quotes)
All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Most of the people are homesick anyway, and a little lonely, and they hide themselves in their hair and are turned into flowers (Tove Jansson Quotes)
He was the owner of the moonlight on the ground, he fell in love with the most beautiful of the trees, he made wreaths of leaves and strung them around his neck (Tove Jansson Quotes)
I need to write down my observations. Even the tiniest ones; they’re the most important (Tove Jansson Quotes)
I want your first trip to be with me. I want to show you cities and landscapes and teach you how to look at things in new ways and how to get along in places you don’t already know inside out. I want to put some life in you (Tove Jansson Quotes)
The lamp sizzled as it burned. It made everything seem close and safe, a little family circle they all knew and trusted. Outside this circle lay everything that was strange and frightening, and the darkness seemed to reach higher and higher and further and further away, right to the end of the world (Tove Jansson Quotes)
... by and by a change came: I started to muse about the shape of my nose. I put my trivial surroundings aside and mused more and more about myself, and I found this to be a bewitching occupation. I stopped asking and longed instead to speak of my thoughts and feelings. Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting (Tove Jansson Quotes)
... now and then a giggling trail of mermaids appeared in our wake. We fed them oatmeal (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Smell is important. It reminds a person of all the things he’s been through; it is a sheath of memories and security (Tove Jansson Quotes)
Someone who eats pancakes and jam can’t be so awfully dangerous. You can talk to him (Tove Jansson Quotes)
I’m not sure I would have ever started to draw, let alone write, if my childhood hadn’t been so happy. It was a mixture of comfort and adventure. An excellent mixture! (Tove Jansson Quotes)
