Sophie "Beware Of The Reader"

“I love you and I believe in you.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“Because it’s been a painfully short life, the blink of an eye, a single summer’s day. Ted’s chest hurts, like crying without oxygen, because grief does so many strange things to people, and one of those things is that we forget how to breathe. As if the body’s first instinct is to grieve itself to death. Soon Ted will stand up and discover that he’s forgotten how to walk too, that happens to us all when the love of our life falls asleep for the last time, because when the soul leaves the body, evidently the last thing it does is tie our shoelaces together. In the weeks following the death we trip over thin air. It’s the soul’s fault.”

“When you get old, gravity pulls the corners of your mouth down, the road to a smile grows longer.”

“But how do I explain that I am freezing to death if not seen by you?”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
