Henning Mankell
“To grow up is to wonder about things; to be grown up is to slowly forget the things you wondered about as a child.”
Henning Mankell, When the Snow Fell

Henning Mankell
“We’re always being made promises,’ she said. ‘You make them yourself
and you listen to others giving theirs. Politicians are always going
on about providing a better quality of life for people as they get older,
and a health service in which nobody ever gets bedsores. Banks promise
you high interest rates, some food promises to make you lose weight if
you eat it, and body creams guarantee old age with fewer wrinkles. Life
is quite simply a matter of cruising along in your own little boat through
a constantly changing but never-ending stream of promises. And how
many do we remember? We forget the ones we would like to remember,
and we remember the ones we’d prefer to forget.”
Henning Mankell, Italian Shoes

Henning Mankell
“It was a clear, starry night, dead calm. Whenever I see a sky
like that, I wish I could write music”
Henning Mankell, Italian Shoes

Henning Mankell
“Society had grown cruel. People who felt they were unwanted or unwelcome in their own country, reacted with aggression. There was no such thing as meaningless violence. Every violent act had a meaning for the person who committed it. Only when you dared accept this truth could you hope to turn society in another direction.”
Henning Mankell, Die fünfte Frau

Henning Mankell
“Just as no significant work of art can be created without the element of irrationality that is in fact the artist's talent." p.179

"He wondered if there was a greater distance than the one between two people in the same bed pretending to sleep." p.213”
Henning Mankell, Depths
