Quotes
I have been very interested in labor movement. If I could have wished another life, I would have loved to be a pioneer woman in the beginning of labor movement.
Astrid Lindgren
I have never experienced being madly in love the way most people seem to have been, although it is not something I would miss. Instead I have had an enormous ability to love my children and my grandchildren and my great grandchildren.
Astrid Lindgren
I don’t mind dying, I’ll gladly do that, but not right now, I need to clean the house first.
