"Before her, he had no life. And neither after."

"People always say that Ove sees the world in black and white, and she is color, all his colors."

"The more nonsense those idiots talk about her, the deeper and deeper my memory of her will be in my mind."

"Of course he didn't know at the time how many quarters of his life he would have to wait for her. If his father knew, he would be very angry. But when she was wearing a long printed dress and a red so red When the cardigan with which Vey had to move a bit appeared, Ove immediately decided that she could be forgiven for not being punctual."

"If anyone asked, he'd say, before her, he didn't have a life. Not after."

The flowers in front of her tombstone are always fresh. Every day, he would go to her cemetery to sit and talk to her. He said my life has been a mess since you left. He said, I'll be quicker today, and we'll be able to meet soon. He said, I think this is the first time you have to wait for me.

Fortunately, they finally met, in the car where they first met, in the familiar seat.

Don't let go this time.

A Man Called Ove quotes

  • Ove: Some people say that fate is the result of our own foolishness.

  • Ove: Hey! What are you doing?

    Mähät: It scratched Prince.

    Ove: Throw another stone and I'll sew a doormat with your mop!

    Mähät: It is a chihuahua. And the cat certainly has both rabies and plague.

    Ove: Oh, yes. Clearly, you do, too, but we do not throw stones at you.

    Mähät: You still think you can do whatever you want? Slimy fucking old man. I'll tell Anders.

    Ove: Go ahead, tell him. If you can make someone who drives an Audi understand. Four zeros on the grill and a fifth at the wheel. If that dog pees in our area again, I'll electrify it. Idiot!
