Fredrik Backman
“Ove stomped forward. The cat stood up. Ove stopped. They stood there measuring each other up for a few moments, like two potential troublemakers in a small-town bar. Ove considered throwing one of his clogs at it. The cat looked as if it regretted not bringing its own clogs to lob back.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“Men like Ove and Rune were from a generation in which one was what one did, not what one talked about.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“All people at root are time optimists. We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“Ove had never been asked how he lived before he met her. But if anyone had asked him, he would have answered that he didn’t.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“He was a man of black and white. And she was color. All the color he had.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
