“It’s been a long, long life, and at the end of it the artist manages to make someone he loves laugh out loud, so that every single wall sings. It would take less to make you believe in God.”

“Perhaps the newsreader has seen the artist’s painting in galleries. Perhaps in beautiful books in big houses or in cheap magazines in small waiting rooms. Perhaps on a postcard, on a fridge, in a children’s home. They have never met, but it doesn’t matter. Art teaches us to mourn for strangers.”
― Backman Fredrik
