“The beats of this particular story are music to my ears, and I'm certainly not complaining, but they're not the beats I'm used to. Then again, not everything has a perfect structure: a beginning, middle, and end. Not every tale has an act-three synthesis and a dark night of the soul.
Sometimes life just is.”
― Chuck Tingle, Bury Your Gays

“Not that I wanted that. To be a boss, I mean. The president of the company said that was precisely why he wanted me to do it. He said you don't have to lead by telling people what to do, you can lead by just letting them do what they're capable of instead. So I tried to be a teacher more than a boss...if you can do something for someone in such a way that they think they managed it all on their own, then you've done a good job.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
