“It’s so easy to think that what we post online is like raising your voice in a living room when it’s actually more like shouting from the rooftops.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Fredrik Backman
“Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. We’ll end up saying that violence came to Beartown this summer, but that will be a lie; the violence was already here. Because sometimes hating one another is so easy that it seems incomprehensible that we ever do anything else.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Daniel Coyle
“The other feature of this list is that many of these signals could easily be viewed as obvious and redundant. For instance, do highly experienced professionals like nurses and anesthesiologists really need to be explicitly told that their role in a cardiac surgery is important? Do they really need to be informed that if they see the surgeon make a mistake, they might want to speak up?
The answer, as Endmondson discovered, is a thundering yes. The value of those signals is not their information but in the fact that they orient the team to the task and to one another. What seems like repetition is, in fact, navigation.”
Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups

Fredrik Backman
“The truth about most people is as simple as it is unbearable: we rarely want what is best for everyone; we mostly want what’s best for ourselves.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Fredrik Backman
“Because people are always dependent upon other people, and we can’t ever really forgive one another for that.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You
