Fredrik Backman
“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Richard Dawkins
“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins
“When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Arno Schmidt
“Die Welt der Kunst & Fantasie ist die wahre, the rest is a nightmare.”
Arno Schmidt

Elizabeth Strout
“And she said that her job as a writer of fiction was to report on the human condition, to tell us who we are and what we think and what we do.”
Elizabeth Strout, My Name Is Lucy Barton
