― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“If there’s pleasure in action, there’s peace in stillness.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

“Because you’ve probably been depressed yourself, you’ve had days when you’ve been in terrible pain in places that don’t show up in X-rays, when you can’t find the words to explain it even to the people who love you. Deep down, in memories that we might prefer to suppress even from ourselves, a lot of us know that the difference between us and that man on the bridge is smaller than we might wish.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
