“Ha, no, that it’s always the wrong people who have the guilty conscience. Those who are really responsible for suffering in the world couldn’t care less. It’s the ones fighting for good who are consumed by remorse.”
David Lagercrantz, The Girl in the Spider's Web

“Money talks, bullshit walks.”
David Lagercrantz, The Girl in the Spider's Web

“It wasn’t just escapism, he persuaded himself. Sometimes the best ideas occur to you while your mind is occupied with something completely different. Pieces of the puzzle can suddenly fall into place.”
David Lagercrantz, The Girl in the Spider's Web
