The north of Sweden is very socialist and poor. They feel left out and despise Stockholm in many ways because Stockholm has become new liberals and much more Americanized. ~ Joel Kinnaman
Stockholm quotes by Joel Kinnaman
The man reeks of mental illness. I can taste his pathology... Goes well with my palette. ~ Juditta Salem
Stockholm quotes by Juditta Salem
Women must hold men accountable for their behavior. Women do men no favors in terms of their growth as responsible, caring human beings if women allow men to abuse us. It is not genuine love that causes women to put up with men's destructive behavior; it is the fear-induced love produced by Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome hurts men's development as well as women's. ~ Dee L.R. Graham
Stockholm quotes by Dee L.R. Graham
Statism is a mental disorder, much akin to Stockholm Syndrome. ~ Dane Whalen
Stockholm quotes by Dane Whalen
You're organised, I can see,' I said.
'I'm organised in everything,' he said. 'Absolutely everything. There's nothing in my life that I have not planned or allowed for.'
'That sounds frightening,' I said and looked at him.
He smiled.
'For me it's frightening to meet someone who moves to Stockholm at one day's notice. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Stockholm quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Is it 'Stockholm syndrome' when your God has never once misguided your steps? I think not! Let the lost ones dart across the darkness, bashing into walls, pretending to love their ways as we delight in obedience to the footsteps of Christ which bring us to freedom. By Faith we wander - not because we are lost, but because we are free. ~ Criss Jami
Stockholm quotes by Criss Jami
I spent 2010-2012 in Stockholm, trying to figure things out. I caught up on life! At the end of 2012, the relationship I was in ended, and I took the first plane to L.A. where my Swedish label has been setting up base. I felt so much more inspired to write and record than I had ever been, and the songs just started coming. ~ Erik Hassle
Stockholm quotes by Erik Hassle
I'm from a rural town outside of Stockholm, so in coming to L.A., I've been able to not think that much about my background. It's much easier for me in this big town, this big bubble to isolate myself from that and be a little more self-confident. I'm here to do my take on soul. ~ Erik Hassle
Stockholm quotes by Erik Hassle
You're aware," Myron said, "that kidnap victims often identify with their abductors." "I know all that. The Stockholm syndrome and all its bizarre offshoots. But it just didn't seem that way. Katie didn't look particularly exhausted. The body language was right. There wasn't panic in her eyes or any kind of cult-like zealousness. Her eyes were clear, in fact. I didn't see signs of drugs there, though granted I only got a brief look. ~ Harlan Coben
Stockholm quotes by Harlan Coben
She had my back, supported me. This is the role of the mother, and in that visit I really saw clearly, and for the first time, why a mother is really important. Not just because she feeds and also loves and cuddles and even mollycoddles a child, but because in an interesting and maybe an eerie and unworldly way, she stands in the gap. She stands between the unknown and the known. In Stockholm, my mother shed her protective love down around me and without knowing why people sensed that I had value. I ~ Maya Angelou
Stockholm quotes by Maya Angelou
Nationalism is pimped-out bigotry, designed to provoke a Stockholm Syndrome in the livestock. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Stockholm quotes by Stefan Molyneux
I'm based in Stockholm and I train at Nexus Fighter Centre, it's my club and my head coach Andreas Michael but for two weeks now I went to Vegas to train with Team Alliance with coach Eric Del Fierro, Phil Davis and top level guys. I had top level sparring so I'm more than ready. ~ Alexander Gustafsson
Stockholm quotes by Alexander Gustafsson
More often than not, a statist's argument against Anarchism boils down to an unwillingness to take control and responsibility for their own lives, actions, and communities. The sad truth is that the human animal has been domesticated to the point where it actually fears Liberty. ~ Dane Whalen
Stockholm quotes by Dane Whalen
Yes, you do hate Switzerland. And," doctor Messerli paused for effect, "you love it. You love it and you hate it. What you don't feel is apathy. You're not indifferent. You're ambivalent."
Anna had thought about this before, when nights came during which she could do nothing but wander Dietlikon's sleeping streets or hike the hill behind her house to sit upon the bench where most often she went to weep. She'd considered her ambivalence many, many times, and in the end, she's diagnosed herself with a disease that she'd also invented. Switzerland syndrome. Like Stockholm syndrome. But instead of my captors, I'm attached to the room in which I'm held captive. It's the prison I'm bound to, not the warden.

Anna was absolutely right. It was the landscape. it was the geography. The fields, the streams, the lakes, the forests. And the mountains. On exceptionally clear days when the weather was right, if you walked south on Dietlikon's Bahnhofstrasse you could see the crisp outlines of snow-capped Alps against a blazing blue horizon eighty kilometers away. On these certain days it was something in the magic of the atmosphere that made them tangible and moved them close. The mutability of those particular mountains reminded Anna of herself. And it wasn't simply the natural landscape that she attached herself to emotionally. It was the cobblestone roads of Zürich's old town and the spires of this church and the towers of that one. And the trains, the trains, the goddamn ~ Jill Alexander Essbaum
Stockholm quotes by Jill Alexander Essbaum
The way everything she said made me smile had to be the Stockholm Syndrome. ~ C.D. Reiss
Stockholm quotes by C.D. Reiss
He said the only reason I got to have nice things was because I got to be such a nice looking boy. He said when people looked like me. I didn't need the brains. I just tricked it from people. I didn't know what kind of boy my dad meant. My dad said I was that kind of boy. He said it one day I was in the bath and he got his hand on my thing. I didn't want to be that kind of boy. I didn't want people to touch me like that. It hurt. But my dad said it's how to get nice things. If I got to be nice back. ~ J.D. Stockholm
Stockholm quotes by J.D. Stockholm
According to Colonel Ely Garrison, in his autobiography and according to the United States Naval Secret Service Report on Paul Warburg, the Russian Revolution had been
financed by the Rothschilds and Warburgs, with a member of the Warburg family carrying the actual funds used by Lenin and Trotsky in Stockholm in 1918. ~ Eustace Mullins
Stockholm quotes by Eustace Mullins
And it's hard to hate someone once you understand them. ~ Lucy Christopher
Stockholm quotes by Lucy Christopher
It's called Stockholm syndrome," I said. "When people start to sympathize with their captors. ~ Ransom Riggs
Stockholm quotes by Ransom Riggs
The point being made here is that hostages and outsiders view the hostages' ability to escape differently. What looks to outsiders as an opportunity for escape may look like a test (a trick) or a death trap to hostages. It is hostages', not outsiders', perceptions of hostages' ability to escape that determines whether or not hostages develop Stockholm Syndrome. ~ Dee L.R. Graham
Stockholm quotes by Dee L.R. Graham
She wanted to tell him that she loved him, but she kept her convoluted and confused thoughts to herself. He was her light in the darkness, but she was unsure if it was actual love or a form of Stockholm syndrome. ~ Emmie White
Stockholm quotes by Emmie White
Maybe it was a Patty Hearst thing. Stockholm syndrome or whatever it's called when you're being held against your will but then you become sucked in and fall in love. Or if not exactly love, you fall into something you can't see out of. 'I can't shoot a machine gun' becomes 'Hey, this hardly has any kick-back! ~ Augusten Burroughs
Stockholm quotes by Augusten Burroughs
And the victim must have been broken and must remain so, so that the externalization of evil is possible. The victim who refuses to assume this role contradicts society's simplistic view. Nobody wants to see it. People would have to take a look at themselves. ~ Natascha Kampusch
Stockholm quotes by Natascha Kampusch
The orchestra strikes up with 'Stockholm in My Heart', and everyone joins in. Hands sway in the air, mobile phone cameras are raised. A wonderful feeling of togetherness. It will be another fifteen minutes until, with meticulous premeditation, the whole thing is torn to shreds. Let us sing along for the time being. We have a long way to go before we return here. Only when the journey has softened us up, when we are ready to think the unthinkable, will we be permitted to come back. ~ John Ajvide Lindqvist
Stockholm quotes by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Waiting for me in Stockholm will be a personal assistant - Katrina from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - as well the secretary of the Swedish Academy. They'll help us with our things and take us to our hotel. From the moment I arrive, I'll always be together with the other two laureates. ~ Ada Yonath
Stockholm quotes by Ada Yonath
But now I wish I could back to Stockholm to make international films there. ~ Lasse Hallstrom
Stockholm quotes by Lasse Hallstrom
When Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, only five Americans had previously been so honored. Accepting the prize in Stockholm, he gave an impassioned speech in which he argued that "the ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement. ~ John Steinbeck
Stockholm quotes by John Steinbeck
Women, who are the prime victims of religion, and perhaps in some, stockholm syndrome effect, often form the most fervent advocates of the very thing that degrades them. I believe that in the end, it will be women who will turn this around. This should be the final stage of feminism. For a feminist to still believe in god is like a freed slave still living on the plantation. ~ Matthew Chapman
Stockholm quotes by Matthew Chapman
Stop it.
Do not feel safe with him. The Stockholm Syndrome is not your friend. ~ J.R. Ward
Stockholm quotes by J.R. Ward
Literature was not promulgated by a pale and emasculated critical priesthood singing their litanies in empty churches - nor is it a game for the cloistered elect, the tinhorn mendicants of low calorie despair.
Literature is as old as speech. It grew out of human need for it, and it has not changed except to become more needed.
The skalds, the bards, the writers are not separate and exclusive. From the beginning, their functions, their duties, their responsibilities have been decreed by our species.
speech at the Nobel Banquet at the City Hall in Stockholm, December 10, 1962 ~ John Steinbeck
Stockholm quotes by John Steinbeck
The solemnity of the annual Nobel ceremonies in Stockholm with the cheerful bad taste of the grand opening of a shopping center in Los Angeles. ~ Vincent Canby
Stockholm quotes by Vincent Canby
At least here in Stockholm if you go out to any of our 4 metal clubs and talk to ten guys you can be sure nine of them play in a band! The bad thing is there is no underground movement here anymore. Going to a show with local band's ten years ago would mean at least 300 people, now you can be lucky if 50 shows up! ~ Johan Hegg
Stockholm quotes by Johan Hegg
Like Beauty locked up in the Beast's castle, I developed my own brand of Stockholm syndrome, identifying with my captor. ~ Holly Madison
Stockholm quotes by Holly Madison
Women misjudged his pathology because of his prolific brain-games. He used gaslighting techniques to convince her she had a break with reality. Some survivors called it 'The Ultimate Mind Screw'--sending prominent female executives, attorneys, and doctors into mental institutions to recover from him. Coercion, psychological warfare techniques and Stockholm Syndrome symptoms have left survivors sawed off at the emotional knees by a smooth-talking and ear-to-ear grinning psychological terrorist. ~ Sandra L. Brown
Stockholm quotes by Sandra L. Brown
The police car bellowed through the night. The tail lights of the car in front came closer. All around them, but especially to the right, lay Stockholm with its hundreds of thousands of glittering lights reflecting in dark bays and inlets. Church spires stood silhouetted against a starry sky. The moon was out. "Now we've got the son ~ Maj Sjowall
Stockholm quotes by Maj Sjowall
I think that for example as a prisoner of course I was pressured to become very submissive and in a way the syndrome of Stockholm is when you shift position and then you become like you're supposed to act, which is accepting the authority of those who have abducted you. ~ Ingrid Betancourt
Stockholm quotes by Ingrid Betancourt
American suffragist, speech "Is Woman Suffrage Progressing?" at Stockholm, Sweden Radicalism is a label that is always applied to people who are endeavoring to get freedom. ~ Marcus Garvey
Stockholm quotes by Marcus Garvey
The Stockholm street style is distinctive, with ensembles that exemplify the city's understated elegance. ~ Aslaug Magnusdottir
Stockholm quotes by Aslaug Magnusdottir
We have to HIDE from each other because we think that we are the only ones BROKEN. We think we're the only ones whose original selves we ground up and smashed under the jack-booted heel of cultural lies and superstition, patriotism, war lust, war hunger, and a denial of AGGRESSION AGAINST CHILDREN THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF CULTURE. Culture is everything that is NOT TRUE. If it's true, it's called 'math' or 'science' or 'facts'. Culture is the Stockholm syndrome we have with the historical lies that are convenient to the rules. We love the lies, because we don't think we can be loved if we don't. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Stockholm quotes by Stefan Molyneux
I've been doing this a long time- manipulating people to get my way. That's why you think you love me. Because I've broken you down and built you back up to believe it. It wasn't an accident. Once you leave this behind ... you'll see that. -Caleb ~ C.J. Roberts
Stockholm quotes by C.J. Roberts
Addiction, at its worst, is akin to having Stockholm Syndrome. You're like a hostage who has developed an irrational affection for your captor. They can abuse you, torture you, even threaten to kill you, and you'll remain inexplicably and disturbingly loyal. ~ Anne Clendening
Stockholm quotes by Anne Clendening
The delicate and intricate pattern of competition and cooperation in the economic behavior of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Stockholm offers a challenge to the economist that is perhaps as complex as the challenges of the physicist and the chemist. ~ George Stigler
Stockholm quotes by George Stigler
You will also allow me to thank the Academy for inviting me to lecture in Stockholm, for its hospitality, and for the opportunity afforded me for admiring the charm of your people and the beauty of your country. ~ Guglielmo Marconi
Stockholm quotes by Guglielmo Marconi
Authors who moan with praise for their editors always seem to reek slightly of the Stockholm syndrome. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Stockholm quotes by Christopher Hitchens
There is a very vibrant cultural scene in Stockholm. There are lots of places where there are concerts, and there are loads of museums and theaters. ~ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Stockholm quotes by Bjorn Ulvaeus
Distraction serves evil more than any other mental state. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Stockholm quotes by Stefan Molyneux
What Mark didn't understand, and hoped he would never understand, was why you'd let a bunch of dickheads torment you for months in the hope that they'd let you stay in their little club. It had to fall somewhere between kindergarten and Stockholm Syndrome on the What-the-Fuck-Are-You-Thinking scale. ~ Anonymous
Stockholm quotes by Anonymous
Her apartment in Stockholm might look as if a bomb had gone off in it, but mentally Salander was extremely well organised. ~ Stieg Larsson
Stockholm quotes by Stieg Larsson
Stockholm is very, like, posh and uptight, and everything should be so luxurious and refurbished. ~ Karin Dreijer Andersson
Stockholm quotes by Karin Dreijer Andersson
A lot of young musicians in Stockholm are about keeping tradition alive and moving it forward at the same time. ~ Neneh Cherry
Stockholm quotes by Neneh Cherry
Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there's time. ~ Natalie Dormer
Stockholm quotes by Natalie Dormer
I tried to find myself and become a happy person without all the drugs and alcohol. And then I got back to Stockholm and I got pissed one night and had to sing. ~ Gustav Ejstes
Stockholm quotes by Gustav Ejstes
But Anya, you're not any girl, you are someone very special. You have a gift of happiness that's almost magical".

Stockholm quotes by Erich Segal
Wild horses couldn't drag me away from a summer on the Stockholm archipelago. ~ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Stockholm quotes by Bjorn Ulvaeus
Stockholm syndrome, ~ Danielle Paige
Stockholm quotes by Danielle Paige
The novella will be called, I think, "The Messiah of Stockholm." It takes place in Stockholm. I'd better say no more, or the Muse will wipe it out. ~ Cynthia Ozick
Stockholm quotes by Cynthia Ozick
You've got Stockholm syndrome, girl. The man literally tortures you and you make him eggs?"
"Maybe she's poisoning it. ~ R.S. Grey
Stockholm quotes by R.S. Grey
One morning as I was leaving, the director said I didn't have to leave the set anymore. What happened? Why did they change their ways of treating me? I came to the realization that it was because I had a mother. My mother spoke highly of me, and to me. But more important, whether they met her or simply heard about her, she was there with me. She had my back, supported me. This is the role of the mother, and in that visit I really saw clearly, and for the first time, why a mother is really important. Not just because she feeds and also loves and cuddles and even mollycoddles a child, but because in an interesting and maybe an eerie and unworldly way, she stands in the gap. She stands between the unknown and the known. In Stockholm, my mother shed her protective love down around me and without knowing why people sensed that I had value. ~ Maya Angelou
Stockholm quotes by Maya Angelou
I live a bit outside of Stockholm and I almost never go into town. I can live anywhere, I think. ~ Karin Dreijer Andersson
Stockholm quotes by Karin Dreijer Andersson
Stockholm is surely an urban planner's dream. Everything works. Everything looks good. ~ Janine Di Giovanni
Stockholm quotes by Janine Di Giovanni
There are days when I walk through the center of Stockholm when I get this sudden feeling of happiness - a sense of belonging and at the same time gratitude that I'm so privileged that I can live my life in my city. ~ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Stockholm quotes by Bjorn Ulvaeus
Other students lived on campus and got drunk at parties. Other students dated and graduated and got married and led normal lives. She wanted to marry an ex-con and pretend being kidnapped had been a normal thing she could forget about ... ~ Michelle D. Argyle
Stockholm quotes by Michelle D. Argyle
As a novelist, there are three phone calls you never expect to receive in your lifetime because if you waited for them you would grow despairing - one calling from Stockholm with a Swedish accent, one from the NBA, and one from Oprah Winfrey. ~ Chris Bohjalian
Stockholm quotes by Chris Bohjalian
I want to kiss him in gratitude, but I'm not about to get Stockholm Syndrome just because they feed me. ~ J.M. Sevilla
