“Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble.” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Everyone has secrets. It's just a matter of finding out what they are.” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Then I discovered that being related is no guarantee of love!” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“I’ve had many enemies over the years. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s never engage in a fight you’re sure to lose. On the other hand, never let anyone who has insulted you get away with it. Bide your time and strike back when you’re in a position of strength—even if you no longer need to strike back.” ― Steig Larson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a serious problem.” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Normally seven minutes of another person's company was enough to give her a headache so she set things up to live as a recluse. She was perfectly content as long as people left her in peace.

“Impulsive actions led to trouble, and trouble could have unpleasant consequences.” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“It doesn't matter how good the enemy's weapons are. If he can't see you, he can't hit you. Cover, cover, cover. Make sure you're never exposed.” ― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Sometimes they were together so often that it felt as though they really were a couple; sometimes weeks and months would go by before they saw each other. But even as alcoholics are drawn to the state liquor store after a stint on the wagon, they always came back to each other.” ― Steig Larssen, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
