“Nothing is worse than the secret humiliation of being insulted by proxy.”
― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“Never trust people who don't have something in their lives that they love beyond all reason.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“The trouble with the merely unwise/deeply stupid line is that you often don’t know which side you’re on until it’s too late.”
― Ransom Riggs, Library of Souls

“The love a parent feels for a child is strange. There is a starting point to our love for everyone else, but not this person. This one we have always loved, we loved them before they even existed. No matter how well prepared they are, all moms and dads experience a moment of total shock, when the tidal wave of feelings first washed through them, knocking them off their feet. It's incomprehensible because there's nothing to compare it to. It's like trying to describe sand between your toes or snowflakes on your tongue to someone who's lived their whole life in a dark room. It sends the soul flying.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown
