Fredrik Backman
“People say that anxiety is fear for no reason, but Ted’s brain is very helpful when it comes to providing suggestions. Once he read a book that said that people with neuropsychiatric disorders need to “make friends with their brain,” but Ted and Ted’s brain are not friends, they’re classmates, forced to do a group assignment called “life” together. And it’s not going great.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Ande Pliego
“Sometimes the art of fiction isn't in how intellectual it is, but how well it makes you actually forget the world around you. Sometimes, binge reading to escape reality can save a person's life.”
Ande Pliego, You Are Fatally Invited

“We need not worry, our leaders tell us. We are a resilient people. We need only summon that strength now. Will someone please tell them that resilience is not a thing to be trotted out in trying times like a kind of prized pony? As the gifted Haitian American writer Edwidge Danticat puts it, just because people are resilient doesn't mean they can suffer more than others.”
Julian Aguon, No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay

Harper Lee
“We Americans like to put our culture into disposable containers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the way we treat our past. We discard villages, towns, even cities, when they grow old, and we are now in the process of discarding our recorded history, not in a shredder, but by rewriting it as romance.”
Harper Lee, The Land of Sweet Forever: Stories and Essays

Fredrik Backman
“How many damn books have you actually read?”
“Not nearly enough,” he smiles.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends
