More quotes by Steig Larsson
[Her] greatest fear, which was so huge and so black that it was of phobic proportions, was that people would laugh at her feelings.
Steig Larsson
Bullshit, Salander said again. Gottfried isn't the only kid who was ever mistreated. That doesn't give him the right to murder women. He made that choice himself. And the same is true of Martin.
Steig Larsson
...you have no idea how mentally handicapped I could be if push comes to shove.
Steig Larsson
I'm aware of what you've done for me, and I'm not ungrateful. I appreciate that you actually showed yourself to be greater than your prejudices and have given me a chance here. But I don't want you for my lover, and you're not my father.
Steig Larsson
Don’t ever fight with Lisbeth Salander. Her attitude towards the rest of the world is that if someone threatens her with a gun, she’ll get a bigger gun.
Steig Larsson
Men who just call to say hello generally have ulterior motives.
Steig Larsson
Taking away a person's control of her own life - meaning her bank account - is one of the greatest infringements a democracy can impose, especially when it applies to young people. It is an infringement even if the intent may be perceived as benign and socially valid.

Friendship is probably the most common form of love.
Steig Larsson
Don't call me crazy.I'm a survivor. I do what I have to do to survive.

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.
Steig Larsson
It did no good to cry, she had learned that early on. She had also learned that every time she tried to make someone aware of something in her life, the situation just got worse. Consequently it was up to her to solve her problems by herself, using whatever methods she deemed necessary.
Steig Larsson
The whole organization seemed to be in free fall, indulging in a collective fantasy in which experienced colleagues refused to admit that their every movement, every decision that was made and implemented, only led them one step closer to the abyss.
Steig Larsson
Mimi was massaging Salander's back and neck. She had been kneading intently for 20 minutes while Salander mainly enjoyed herself and uttered an occasional groan of pleasure. A massage from Mimi was a fantastic experience, and she felt like a kitten who just wanted to purr and wave its paws around.
Steig Larsson
The Stock Exchange is something very different. There is no economy and no production of goods and services. There are only fantasies in which people from one hour to the next decide that this or that company is worth so many billions, more or less. It doesn't have a thing to do with reality or with the Swedish economy.

-Who knows about this? -Just me, the police, the killer, and now you.
Steig Larsson
I know what kind of things I myself have been irritated by in detective stories. They are often about one or two persons, but they don't describe anything in the society outside.
Steig Larsson
I'm unhappy. I don't want to fall in love with you. It'll hurt far too much when it's over
Steig Larsson
There were not so many physical threats that could not be countered with a decent hammer.
Steig Larsson
There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility.
