“There are hundreds of thoughts per every word spoken, and that's if they're spoken at all.”
― Markus Zusak, Bridge of Clay

“That's the power of literature, you know, it can act like little love letters between two people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“We fool ourselves that we can protect the people we love, because if we accepted the truth we’d never let them out of our sight.”

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
