Memorable Quotes from "A Man Called Ove"
- "We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'."

- Translation (Sinhala): "අපි සැමවිටම හිතනවා වෙන කාටහරි සමග කරගන්න විEnough සමය තියෙනවා කියලා. ඔවුන්ට කියන්න සමාන දේවල් ඉතිරි වෙනවා කියලා. ඇයිද කියලා හිතනවා."
-
- Translation (Tamil): "நாம் எப்போதும் மற்றவர்களுடன் செய்ய போதுமான நேரம் இருக்கின்றது என நினைக்கிறோம். அவர்களுக்கு சொல்ல போதுமான நேரம் உள்ளது என. பிறகு ஏதோ ஒன்று நடக்கின்றது, பின்னர் நாங்கள் 'நான்' போன்ற சொற்களைப் பிடித்துக் கொண்டிருப்போம்."
- "People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had."
- "Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivators for living."
- "Loving someone is like moving into a house. At first, you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you."
- "You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away."
