“My Dutch grandfather used to say, ‘If you don’t know what to do, do nothing for eight days.’ ” Dean asked, “Why eight?” “Less than eight is haste. More than eight is procrastination. Eight days is long enough for the world to shuffle the deck and deal you another hand.”
― David Mitchell, Utopia Avenue

“We fool ourselves that we can protect the people we love, because if we accepted the truth we’d never let them out of our sight.”

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves.

― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
