Jo NesboWith regard to power, women don't have the vanity men have. They don't need to make power visible, they only want the power to give them the other things they want. Security. Food. Enjoyment.

Jo NesboIntuition is just the sum of all your experience. The way I see it, everything youโve experienced, everything you know, you think you know and didnโt know you knew is there in your subconscious lying dormant, as it were. As a rule you donโt notice the sleeping creature, itโs just there, snoring and absorbing new things, right. But now and then it blinks, stretches and tells you, hey, Iโve seen this picture before. And tells you where in the picture things belong.
