Stieg Larsson's Birthday

“Always retain the ability to walk away, without sentimentality, from a situation that felt unmanageable. That was a basic rule of survival. Don't lift a finger for a lost cause.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played with Fire

“To exact revenge for yourself or your friends is not only a right, it's an absolute duty.”
― Stieg Larsson

“There were not so many physical threats that could not be countered with a decent hammer.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played with Fire

“She had stared at him for a whole minute and decided that she did not have a grain of feeling left, because it would have been the same as bleeding to death. Fuck You.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played with Fire

“I’ve had many enemies over the years. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s never engage in a fight you’re sure to lose. On the other hand, never let anyone who has insulted you get away with it. Bide your time and strike back when you’re in a position of strength—even if you no longer need to strike back.”
― Steig Larson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“Impulsive actions led to trouble, and trouble could have unpleasant consequences.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“No, I don't believe in God, but I respect the fact that you do. Everyone has to have something to believe in.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“It doesn't matter how good the enemy's weapons are. If he can't see you, he can't hit you. Cover, cover, cover. Make sure you're never exposed.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
