"The act of writing is to me to listen. When I write, I never prepare, I don't plan anything, I proceed by listening. ... At a certain point I always get a feeling that the text has already been written, is out there somewhere, not inside me, and that I just need to write it down before the text disappears."
–– Jon Fosse (b. 1959), author, translator, playwright
