Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Fredrik Backman
“I didn't want the bastards to see me bleed," she whispers to her mother.

"Sometimes, I'm afraid that they're going to have to. To understand that you're a real person," her mother sobs, clutching her daughter so very tightly in her arms.”

“Grateful, grateful, grateful. That’s the role of mothers. But the role of children is to dream. So her son dreams that his mother will one day be able to walk into a room without having to apologize.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“There will be a spring and a summer. It's almost excruciating. But then comes autumn, short as a wink, before winter is finally upon us again. Life does not go on, it starts again, everything is possible again. Anything can happen, all the best and all the most beautiful and all the greatest adventures on earth.”
Fredrik Backman, The Winners
