LAG (1960) OM UPPHOVSRÄTT TILL LITTERÄRA OCH KONSTNÄRLIGA VERK

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of

the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-

five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the

natural order of things.
