Steve Maraboli
“Happiness is found in the simplest of things. Happiness is found in gratitude, in a kept promise, in a good conversation, in love, in friendship, in an achieved goal, in a fond memory; in all the simple magnificence of life.”
Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Kristin Hannah
“Leni had never known anyone who had died before. She had seen death on television and read about it in her beloved books, but now she saw the truth of it. In literature, death was many things - a message, catharsis, retribution. There were deaths that came from a beating heart that stopped and deaths of another kind, a choice made, like Frodo going to the Grey Havens. Death made you cry, filled you with sadness, but in the best of her books, there was peace, too, satisfaction, a sense of the story ending as it should.

In real life, she saw, it wasn't like that. It was sadness opening up inside of you, changing how you saw the world.”
Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

Holly Black
“Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold on to.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Fredrik Backman
“Never go to a game of anything and shout, “You’re playing like a woman!” at an athlete, as though that word were the definition of weakness. One day, you’ll be holding a woman’s hand as she gives birth and then that’ll make you feel more ashamed than you’ve ever felt about anything. Words matter. Be better.”
Fredrik Backman, Things My Son Needs to Know about the World

Fredrik Backman
“Remember, a good friend helps you move, but a great friend helps you move a dead body.”
Fredrik Backman, Saker min son behöver veta om världen
