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

“As someone who believes in no religion, I can't bring myself to add the "Amen" at the end.
If God is a man, he could never understand the mundane threats women experience every single day of our lives.”
Bora Chung, Your Utopia

Fredrik Backman
“That’s why rich adults hate the sort of thing that Louisa paints on the walls of buildings, not because they love walls, but because they hate the fact that there are beautiful things that are free.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“Garfield must have giggled jotting down the admonition to remember that political offices "were created, not for the benefit of incumbents or their supporters, but for the service of the Government.”
Sarah Vowell, Assassination Vacation

Mona Awad
“Violence isn’t the only means of Transformation, Aerius. There are other Ways Back. A book is an Ax too. ‘For the frozen Sea within us.’ ‘The Pen is mightier than the Sword,’ and so on.”
And in my Mindscape, I saw my Book. Now in Mother’s Hands. How she’d hugged it so close to her Body even after she’d called it Nothing, a Fiction. “My Book a Way Back,” I whispered. “All by itself?” My Voice echoed in the Forest, small and alone.
Allan looked down at me, suddenly quite enchanted. “All by itself," he repeated softly. “They are one of the oldest forms of Transformative Magic. They have the Power to change Everything. Hearts. Bodies. Minds. Souls. Whole fucking Worlds. People burn them for a Reason, you know.”
Mona Awad, We Love You, Bunny
