“You can be whatever you want to in life, as long as you don't become a critic. Not of other people and not of yourself. It is so easy to be a critic, any coward can do that. But art does not need critics, art has enough enemies already. Art needs friends.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“I have last year's ashes in my throat, stories
stuffed so full of morals they bleed sugar.”
― Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

“Among a growing list of promises I can’t make my friends: This weight will tether. You can come back up again. The faithfulness of gravity, of morning sounds. If only you’ll stay.”
― Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

“Every time you draw or paint something, you’re proof enough. Now come on, I’ve got something to show you.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
