Ove wasn't hopeless, in his own view. He just had a sense of there needing to be a bit of order in the greater scheme of things. He felt one should not go through life as if everything was exchangeable. As if loyalty was worthless.

She often said that 'all roads lead to something you were always predestined to do'. And for her, perhaps, it was something. But for Ove it was someone.

Ove understood things he could see and touch. Cement and concrete. Glass and steel. Tools. Things one could figure out. He understood right angles and clear instruction manuals. Assembly models and drawings. Things one could draw on paper. He was a man of black and white. And she was colour. All the colour he had.

A person does not belong to a place until there is someone dead under the ground.

उड़नेवाले सफेद बादल से दौड़ने में होड़ लगाना, तितली के साथ खेलने का प्रयत्न करना, तारों में पहुंचने की कल्पना करना – यह सब का सब एक मधुर स्वप्न की आह भरी धुंधली स्मृति के रूप में बदल चुका है. मैं जीवन देख रहा हूं और मुझे कुरूपता के साथ खेलना पड़ता है, कभी लड़कपन की याद भी आ जाती है, वे विगत स्वप्न पलभर के लिए वास्तविकता बनकर लौट पड़ते हैं. चाहता हूं कि वे सपने मिटें ना पर इतना चाहते ही सपने उड़ जाते हैं।

Creation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment. And everything between creation and the next destruction is the journey of life.

Words can only be as good or as bad as the thoughts they convey.

The distance between evil and good is a vast expanse in which many can exist without being either.

Justice exists for the good of the universe. To maintain balance. It does not exist to ignite hatred among humans.

Nobody is good or bad. They are either strong or weak. Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials and tribulations. Weak people, many a times, do not even realize how low they have sunk.

Fate only controls the weak. The strong mould the providence they want.

It is your karma to fight evil. It doesn't matter if the people that evil is being committed against doesn't fight back. It doesn't matter if the entire world chooses to look the other way. Always remember this. You don't live with the consequences of other people's karma. You live with the consequences of your own.

भूतों पर विश्वास दो तरह के लोग करते हैं: एक वो जो उन्हें मानते हैं... कि वो होते हैं और एक वो...जो उन्हें देख लेते हैं.

Death is the ultimate destroyer of a soul’s aspirations. Ironically, it is usually the approach of this very destruction which gives a soul the courage to challenge every constraint and express itself. Express even a long-denied dream.

People do what their society rewards them for doing. If the society rewards trust, people would be trusting.
