Fredrik Backman
“Isn't it like, totally unbelievable that we even exist? So it won't be a tragedy when we don't exist anymore! It's just cool, really cool, that we happened at all.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Sally Rooney
“If God wanted me to give you up, he wouldn't have made me who I am.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Jordan Ifueko
“Monsters were nothing. The true terrors were people like me—the ones who saw suffering, who heard the screams of a hundred generations echoing for miles around them—and still did nothing.”
Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer

Sally Rooney
“And isn’t death just the apocalypse in the first person?”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Emily Henry
“Things were allowed to be complicated. They were allowed to be messy. We were allowed to disagree and argue and even hurt each other, on occasion, and it didn’t mean it was time to let the revolving door of life carry us away from each other. Sometimes things are hard. They just are.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story
