“Forget you? We can’t even remember a life before you showed up. How could we forget you?”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“Just because something isn’t meant to last a lifetime doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, One True Loves

“And when we aren’t thinking? Oh, those are all our very best moments, when we’re wasting our lives. It’s an act of magnificent rebellion to do meaningless things, to waste time, to swim and drink soda and sleep late. To be silly and frivolous, to laugh at stupid little jokes and tell stupid little stories. Or to paint big paintings, the biggest you can manage, and to try to learn to whisper in color. To look for a way to show other people: this was me, these were my humans, these were our farts. These were our bodies, and they were small, far too small, because they couldn’t contain all our love. That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly. You have to take it for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“Art is what we leave of ourselves in other people.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
