my favorite lines from this book
Things are what they are, and whatever will be will be.
Revenge is like politics, one thing always leads to another until bad has become worse, and worse has become worst.
In certain situations it was best not to know or at least best not to leave any way of proving that you knew what you knew.
Politics was about watching where you put your feet.
If there was one thing he had learned it was that the very biggest and apparently most impossible conflicts on earth were based on the dialogue: ‘You are stupid, no, it’s you who are stupid, no, it’s you who are stupid.
What happened happened. There was no point second-guessing it.
Once you’ve reached a certain age, it is easier to sense when everything feels exactly right.
The truth is always much simpler to remember than its opposite.
Yes, you know, Mr Prosecutor, how when vodka goes in, common sense goes out, or whatever the saying is.
Sometimes your mouth seems to go its own way while your brain stands still.
Politics was often not only unnecessary, but sometimes also unnecessarily complicated.
but nothing lasts for ever, except possibly general stupidity.
‘Should I…’ then the answer should be: ‘Yes!’ Otherwise, how would you ever get to know that you shouldn’t? - Jonasson
