“My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff’s miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn into a mighty stranger: I should not be seen a part of it.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“Hockey is just a silly little game. We devote year after year after year to it without ever really hoping to get anything in return. We burn and bled and cry, fully aware that the most the sport can give us, in the very best scenario. is incomprehensibly meager and worthless: just a few isolated moments of transcendence. That’s all.
But what the hell else is life made of?”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown
