Liv Ullman, on books:


Books have always been living things to me.
Some of my encounters with new authors have changed my life a little.
When I have been perplexed,
looking for something I could not define to myself,
a certain book has turned up,
approached me as a friend would.
And between its cover carried the questions and the answers I was looking for.

- Liv Ullmann.
