“Loving someone is like moving into a house,” Sonja used to say. “At first you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you, as if fearing that someone would suddenly come rushing in through the door to explain that a terrible mistake had been made, you weren’t actually supposed to live in a wonderful place like this. Then over the years the walls become weathered, the wood splinters here and there, and you start to love that house not so much because of all its perfection, but rather for its imperfections.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“What fear remains for one who is willing to accept death?”
― Benyamin, Goat Days

“And I survived because I made a point of forgetting. My story started on a calendar day—July 2nd, 1977—and ended on a calendar day—February 14th, 1978—but in between there was no calendar. I did not count the days or the weeks or the months. Time is an illusion that only makes us pant.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“The truth—that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
