“I suppose you think it strange that people can walk around smiling on a day like today...I suppose you take it as a personal affront that the sun is playing on the leaves at a time when you'd rather see the world collapse in misery and weep tears.

― Jo Nesbø, Flaggermusmannen

“Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.”
