Konsten att sopa under mattan (1973)

Gunnel Lindblom: Eva

Quotes 

• Eva : [Discussing Johan's poetry]  I wouldn't bother.

  Johan : Are they that bad?

  Eva : No, it's not that they're bad. If only that were the case.

  Johan : They're mediocre, is that it? Insipid, proper and puerile? They're too personal, like indulging in spiritual masturbation?

  Eva : In our old crowd, many believed you were destined for greatness. We admired you. You were way ahead of us. We admired and even envied you.

  Johan : What's that got to do with my poetry?

  Eva : Nothing. It was just a thought.

• Eva : [Discussing Johan's poetry]  Has Marianne read them?

  Johan : No, you're the only one I've shown them to. Marianne's not interested in poetry.

  Eva : She ought to be interested in you.

  Johan : She is, but not in that respect.

  Eva : She's not? Really?

  Johan : What's so odd about that?
