Linda

“There’s an immensity of love that bursts from your chest the first time you hear your child cry, every emotion you’ve ever felt is amplified to the point of absurdity, children open floodgates inside us, upward as well as down. You’ve never felt so happy, and never felt so scared.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Winners

“I realized that belief is a key ingredient in trying to do things that are difficult.”
― Eddie Izzard, Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens

“Despair is the fuel of terrorism, and hope is the fuel of civilization, so we have to put more hope into the world than despair. Hatred and separation and building walls is not the way to progress. Going backward is not the way to go forward.”
― Eddie Izzard, Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens

“Life is a weird thing. We spend all our time trying to manage different aspects of it, yet we are still largely shaped by things that happen beyond our control.”
― Fredrik Backman, Us Against You
