So, I was browsing the web the other day, and stumbled upon some interesting quotes from a lady named Astrid Lindgren. Never heard of her before, but the words, man, they hit me.

First off, I started reading up on who this Astrid was. Turns out she was a Swedish writer, big on children’s books. Born way back in 1907, passed away in 2002. Didn’t know that before.
Then, I dug into the quotes themselves. One of them goes, “A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out.” Wow, right? I mean, I wasn’t a huge bookworm as a kid, but I had my favorites. It really got me thinking about how important stories are for growing minds.
Another one that caught my eye was, “Pippi was a very remarkable child.” Now, I had to look up who Pippi was. She’s a character from one of Astrid’s books, a super strong and independent girl. I gotta read that book sometime. Sounds like a blast.
- Digging deeper
- Love and Loss
- The Big One
I kept going, found another quote: “The world could be such a wonderful place if only people would live and let live.” Man, that’s the truth! We could all use a little more of that these days, huh? Just being kind and letting people be themselves.
And then there’s this gem, “Give the children love.” Short, sweet, and powerful. It’s all about the kids, isn’t it? Making sure they feel loved and supported.

Finally, I found this quote, and it’s a bit longer, but it’s a doozy: “With love comes loss. sometimes it hurts but in the end it’s all worth it. There is no greater gift than love.” That is profound! It’s a reminder that even though love can be painful sometimes, it’s always worth it in the long run. The greatest thing we can experience.
So yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of Astrid Lindgren’s quotes. It was a good reminder of some important things, like the power of stories, the importance of kindness, and the value of love. Made me realize I need to pick up one of her books sometime soon. And maybe, just maybe, try to live and let live a little more.
It was a pretty good afternoon, just me and Astrid’s words, she’s quite the philosopher, that Astrid. I ended up putting some of these quotes on sticky notes around my place. Just little reminders to myself.
A New Perspective
After spending some time with these quotes, I feel like I’ve got a slightly different perspective on things. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind, you know? But these words, they kind of shake you up a bit. Reminds you of what’s really important.
So, that’s my story. I hope you found it interesting. I searched her quotes on the internet and got something that I would never forget. It was a good day.
