“The first frost comes to Beartown and Hed tonight.
The universe becomes silent. It is stunning in a way that letters can never embrace. If you ask someone who has moved away from here what they miss the most about the forest, they will probably say just this: the foreboding of winter, the still sorrow of a past summer, the autumn that seems to be only a wink here. The birds become hesitant, the lake freezes. Soon we'll see our breaths in front of us and our footprints behind us.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Winners

“– tsundoku – a word that required a sentence in English: buying books and piling them up on a shelf without reading them.”
― Nick Bradley, The Cat and The City

“He used to say you can judge a society by how it treats its cats.”
― Nick Bradley, The Cat and The City

“There will be a spring and a summer. It's almost excruciating. But then comes autumn, short as a wink, before winter is finally upon us again. Life does not go on, it starts again, everything is possible again. Anything can happen, all the best and all the most beautiful and all the greatest adventures on earth.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Winners
