    Daria Darievychhas quoted2 years ago
    the thing he really wishes he could do again is hold her hand in his. She had a way of folding her index finger into his palm, hiding it inside. And he always felt that nothing in the world was impossible when she did that. Of all the things he could miss, that’s what he misses most.

    She believed in destiny. That all the roads you walk in life, in one way or another, “lead to what has been predetermined for you.” Ove, of course, just started muttering under his breath and got very busy fiddling about with a screw or something whenever she started going on like this. But he never disagreed with her. Maybe to her destiny was “something”; that was none of his business. But to him, destiny was “someone.”

    And that laughter of hers, which, for the rest of his life, would make him feel as if someone was running around barefoot on the inside of his breast.

    They say the brain functions quicker while it’s falling.
  • Daria Darievychhas quoted2 years ago
    Nowadays people changed their stuff so often that any expertise in how to make things last was becoming superfluous.
  • Daria Darievychhas quoted2 years ago
    Houses were fair, they gave you what you deserved. Which, unfortunately, was more than one could say about people.
