Victoria’s Quotes

“Life’s short enough without us talking ourselves out of hope and trying to dodge every bad feeling. Sometimes you have to push through the discomfort, instead of running.”

“Hate can be a highly stimulating emotion. The world becomes much easier to understand and much less terrifying if you divide everything and everyone into friends and enemies, we and they, good and evil. Tye easiest way to unite a group isn't through love, because love is hard. It makes demands. Hate is simple.”
― Frederick Backman

“Do you remember when he was little and asked you why people went into space?”
“Yes. I told him it was because people are born adventurers, we have to explore and discover, it's out nature.”
“But you could see that he was scared, so you also said: 'Ted, we're not going into space because we're afraid of aliens. We're going into space because we're scared we're alone. It's an awfully big universe to be alone in.”
― Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer
