Fredrik Backman
“If you are honest, people may deceive you. Be honest anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfishness. Be kind anyway. All the good you do today will be forgotten by others tomorrow. Do good anyway.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“All their lives, girls are told that the only thing they need to do is their best. That that will be enough, as long as they give everything they’ve got. When they themselves become mothers, they promise their daughters that it’s true, that if we just do as well as we can, if we’re honest and work hard, look after our family and love each other, then everything will be all right. Everything will be fine, there’s nothing to be frightened of. Children need the lie to be brave enough to sleep in their beds; parents need it to be able to get up the next morning.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

David   Epstein
“Whether chemists, physicists, or political scientists, the most successful problem solvers spend mental energy figuring out what type of problem they are facing before matching a strategy to it, rather than jumping in with memorized procedures.”
David Epstein, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Fredrik Backman
“The only time I'm not moving forward is when I'm taking aim.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

David   Epstein
“Almost none of the students in any major showed a consistent understanding of how to apply methods of evaluating truth they had learned in their own discipline to other areas.”
David Epstein, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
