“The worst thing we know about other people is that we’re dependent upon them. That their actions affect our lives. Not just the people we choose, the people we like, but all the rest of them: the idiots. You who stand in front of us in every line, who can’t drive properly, who like bad television shows and talk too loud in restaurants and whose kids infect our kids with the winter vomiting bug at preschool. You who park badly and steal our jobs and vote for the wrong party. You also influence our lives, every second.”
― Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

“It was as if he didn't want other people to talk to him, he was afraid that their chattering voices would drown out the memory of her voice.”

“It's said that a person's first thought is the most honest, but that often isn't true. It's often just the most stupid. Why else would we have afterthoughts?”
― Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

“How many chances do we get to love something that's almost pointless entirely unconditionally?”
― Fredrick Backman
