21 " Allan supporta la privation pendant exactement cinq ans et trois semaines. Et puis un jour il annonça: maintenant j'ai envie de boire un coup. Et ici il n'y a rien à boire. Alors on s'en va. "
― Jonas Jonasson , The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (The Hundred-Year-Old Man, #1)

23 " Boli mnie głowa, jak o tym myślę, i boli mnie w piersi, jak nabieram powietrza, żeby powiedzieć, że boli mnie głowa, jak o tym myślę. "
24 " People could behave how they liked, but Allan considered that in general it was quite unnecessary to be grumpy if you had the chance not to. "
25 " Never try to out-drink a Swede, unless you happen to be a Finn or at least a Russian. "
26 " Allan woke up and wondered whether it wouldn't soon be time to go to bed. "
27 " I shall destroy capitalism! Do you hear! I shall destroy every single capitalist! And I shall start with you, you dog, if you don't help us with the bomb!'Allan noted that the had managed to be both a rat and a dog in the course of a minute or so. And that Stalin was being rather inconsistent, because now he wanted to use Allan's services after all.But Allan wasn't going to sit there and listen to this abuse any longer. He had come to Moscow to help them out, not to be shouted at. Stalin would have to manage on his own.'I've been thinking,' said Allan.'What,' said Stalin angrily.'Why don't you shave off that moustache?'With that the dinner was over, because the interpreter fainted. "
28 " Allan thought it sounded unnecessary for the people in the seventeenth century to kill each other. If they had only been a little patient they would all have died in the end anyway. Julius said that you could say the same of all epochs. "
29 " ...you'll see that things will turn out like they do, because that is what usually happens - almost always, in fact "
30 " You should beware of priests, my son. And people who don’t drink vodka. Worst of all are priests who don’t drink vodka. "

32 " But as long as we think positively, I’m sure a solution will appear. "
33 " Imagine that, death was just like being asleep. Would he have time to think before it was all over? And would he have time to think that he had thought it? But wait, how much do you have to think before you have finished thinking? "
34 " Allan had always reasoned about religion that if you couldn't know for sure then there was no point in going around guessing. "
35 " Allan admitted that the difference between madness and genius was subtle, and that he couldn’t with certainty say which it was in this case, but that he had his suspicions. "
36 " Benny gave her an admiring look. He had never heard a woman swear so much in such a short time. He thought it sounded delightful. "
37 " Politics was often not only unnecessary, but sometimes also unnecessarily complicated. "
38 " When life has gone into overtime it's easy to take liberties, "
39 " There are undoubtedly advantages to being dead, said Julius. "
40 " Hi Allan, it's Harry''Which Harry?''Truman, Allan. Harry S. Truman, the president, damn it!''How nice! That was a good meal we had Mr President, thank you. I hope you weren't required to fly the plane home? "
