Quotes by Pentti Saarikoski (?)

“Perillä kaiken aikaa ja kaikki,
kesken.
Tietääkseni en ollut syntyessäni yksin.”

“first seek ye the kingdom of pure practical intelligence

shreds of posters and headlines
shards of gramophone records feathers

lights shining arcs
the well-lit borders

when the rush-hour comes
and the hour of the pile-up
and the sounds of breaking steel-plate and people
are heard in the dark

when the journey is broken, no one is on the right road”
― Pentti Saarikoski, Helsinki

“Minä en koe elämääni tienä, matkana kehdosta hautaan, vaan esineenä, astiana, joka vähitellen täyttyy ja täyteen tultuaan hajoaa.”
