“There is no explaining this simple truth about life: you will forget much of it.”

“That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly.

Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Fredrik Backman
“Nothing weighs more than someone else’s belief in you.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends
