Man Called Ove

"People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had."

"Loving someone is like moving into a house. At first, you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you, as if fearing that someone would suddenly come rushing in through the door to explain that a terrible mistake had been made, you weren't supposed to live in a wonderful place like this. Then, over the years, the walls become weathered, the wood splits here and there, and you start to love that house not so much because of all its perfections, but for its imperfections."

"He was a man of absolute convictions. Time was something you didn't waste. People were something you dealt with only when absolutely necessary."

"We're so afraid of time, time and the fact that there's so little of it. We fear that it'll run out and leave us behind. But the worst fear is not that it will end, but that it will just go on with us in it."

"It is a curious thing, the grief that when you lose someone, you have to learn how to live again, from the very beginning."

"In the end, you are what you do. Not what you say, not what you think, but what you actually do."
