Steig Larsson
I'm not going to apologize for the way I've led my life.
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.

The Stock Exchange is something very different. There is no economy and no production of goods and services.

I'm a fast writer, and crime novels are easy to do. It's much harder to write a 1,000 word article, where everything has to be 100 per cent correct.
Steig Larsson
There's always someone willing to believe malicious rumours.
Steig Larsson
Lie rather still because this is the first time I've used this equipment.
Steig Larsson
I abhor crime novels in which the main character can behave however he or she pleases, or do things that normal people do not do, without those actions having social consequences.
Steig Larsson
The media have the ability to attract the craziest people to call in perfectly absurd tips. Every newsroom in the world gets updates from UFOlogists, graphologists, scientologists, paranoiacs, and every sort of conspiracy theorist.
Steig Larsson
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. Unfortunately society was not very smart or understanding.
Steig Larsson
I started to write in 2001. I wrote the books for the fun of it. It was an old idea I had had since the nineties.
Steig Larsson
She had put on make-up in a colour scheme that indicated she might be colourblind.
Steig Larsson
She had been sharing a house with him for a week, and he had not once flirted with her. He had worked with her, asked her opinion, slapped her on the knuckles figuratively speaking when she was on the wrong track, and acknowledged that she was right when she corrected him. Dammit, he had treated her like a human being.
