“In some ways, I’ll live on through Ellinor. One day, she might tell her kids about you, about me. I wonder what she’ll say.”

“there is a speed at which a heart can beat that you can't remember when you've stopped being young, art that is a joy so overwhelming that you almost can't bear it. How sad it must be, the artist thinks, what an immense loss for anyone who never gets to experience this.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
