Fredrik Backman
“We want to be loved,’ ” quotes Britt-Marie. “ ‘Failing that, admired; failing that, feared; failing that, hated and despised. At all costs we want to stir up some sort of feeling in others. The soul abhors a vacuum. At all costs it longs for contact.’ ”
Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

Cormac McCarthy
“There is no later. This is later.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Fredrik Backman
“We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will “lessen as time passes,” but it isn’t true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn’t be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it.”
Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

Anthony Doerr
“Don’t you want to be alive before you die?”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See
