Fredrik Backman
“Adults always think they can protect children by stopping them from going to dangerous places, but every teenager knows that’s pointless, because the most dangerous place on earth is inside us. Fragile hearts break in palaces and in dark alleys alike.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Fredrik Backman
“Art is empathy.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Fredrik Backman
“Art teaches us to mourn for strangers.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Fredrik Backman
“That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly. You have to take it for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and water balloons and another person’s breath against your neck. That’s the only courageous thing a person can do.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Carter   Wilson
“It’s just always there, an unwashable stain that you eventually grow to live with because you have no other choice. I’ll never have a day where I wake up and the events of my past simply never occurred. I’ll never wake and be thankful all the horrors were just a bad dream. The things that happened will always have happened, and that’s just that.”
Carter Wilson, Tell Me What You Did
