“I was a woman when it was convenient to blame me, and a girl when they wanted to use me.”

“This hurts too much to touch with words.”

“Sometimes she even talked about herself as half. Half-monster, half-human. Half-English, half-Chinese. As if she were made of construction blocks that had been put together and could be disassembled again. But that wasn't how she felt inside.”

“The person we fall in love with, we hardly ever call by their name. Because it’s somehow just so obvious that it’s you I’m talking to, that it’s you I’m always thinking of. Who else?”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
