Quotes by Ulrika Jonsson

Read quote
If an unfit person pushes themself for a quick fitness fix they could end up with a broken ankle, or I knew it could reignite my chronic back problem.
Read quote
I have people I don't particularly want around me over Christmas, family with whom relationships have been volatile, unreliable or painful.
Read quote
I cling on to making connections with people I can physically meet. And the disposability of faces on an app which urges you to swipe left or right in a split second creates its own issues with our ability to see past purely the visual.
Read quote
If you cut me in half, there would be kitsch and Waterloo running through my veins.
