Quote by Jo Nesbø

“The truth is that no one lives off the truth and that's why no one cares about the truth. The truth we make for ourselves is just the sum of what is in someone's interest, balanced by the power they hold.”

Do you know what neutron stars are?' 'They're planets with such compactness and high surface gravity that if I dropped this cigarette on one of them it would strike with the same force as an atom bomb. It was the same with Anna.

She was like Jupiter-hidden behind an eternal cloud of sulphur. And humour. And sexuality.”
