Holly Black
“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

Fredrik Backman
“He was good at seeing beauty in everything, that happens if you’re no good at seeing it in yourself.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

T.J. Klune
“Just because you don’t experience prejudice in your everyday doesn’t stop it from existing for the rest of us.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

Fredrik Backman
“Oh, those are all our very best moments, when we’re wasting our lives. It’s an act of magnificent rebellion to do meaningless things, to waste time, to swim and drink soda and sleep late. To be silly and frivolous, to laugh at stupid little jokes and tell stupid little stories. Or to paint big paintings, the biggest you can manage, and to try to learn to whisper in color. To look for a way to show other people: this was me, these were my humans, these were our farts. These were our bodies, and they were small, far too small, because they couldn’t contain all our love.
That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly. You have to take it for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and water balloons and another person’s breath against your neck. That’s the only courageous thing a person can do.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“It is true, he has suffered, but if everyone who suffered became monsters, the world would be overrun with them.”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress
