Karl Ove Knausgard Quotes

A static hero is a public liability. Progress grows out of motion.

Nothing stands still. Everything is moving in some direction or another.

Things which do not grow and change are dead things.

Things which don't shift and grow are dead things.

Growth, in some curious way, I suspect, depends on being always in motion just a little bit, one way or another.

The world is always in movement.

Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing to constantly evolve. Perfection is constant transformation.

Dynamism is a function of change.

I just understand that life is a constant change and a constant evolution.

Life is constantly changing.

We can't just stop. We're not rocks-progress, migration, motion is... modernity. It's ANIMATE, it's what living things do. We desire. Even if all we desire is stillness, it's still desire for.

To stand still today is to go backwards...and quickly...!

Change is the essence of life.

Life is change. If you aren't growing and evolving, you're standing still, and the rest of the world is surging ahead.

Life is a constant process of change, for better or worse.

From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.

Our nature consists in motion; complete rest is death.
