Fredrik Backman
“You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away,”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“And time is a curious thing. Most of us only live for the time that lies right ahead of us. A few days, weeks, years. One of the most painful moments in a person's life probably comes with the insight that an age has been reached when there is more to look back on than ahead. And when time no longer lies ahead of one, other things have to be lived for. Memories, perhaps.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Patrick Rothfuss
“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

Fredrik Backman
“All people at root are time optimists. We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

N.K. Jemisin
“After all, a person is herself, and others. Relationships chisel the final shape of one's being. I am me, and you.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season
