“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“But it’s what we do, what we’ve done for years now. We drag our past behind us like a weight, still shackled, but far enough back that we never have to see, never have to openly acknowledge who we once were.”
― Miranda Cowley Heller, The Paper Palace

“Taj će led zauvijek ostati smrznut u mom pogledu, nešto što nikada nisam uspio otopiti i ostaviti iza sebe; hladni teret koji ću do kraja života nositi na leđima. Led koji će ohladiti svako moje buduće pripadanje, svaku zaljubljenost, svaki moj dolazak i brzi odlazak, svaku moju misao i moj san.”
― Igor Beleš, Listanje kupusa

“We're trying to be grown-up and love each other and understand how the hell you're supposed to insert USB leads. We're looking for something to cling on to, something to fight for, something to look forward to. We're doing all we can to teach our children how to swim. We have all of this in common, yet most of us remain strangers, we never know what we do to each other, how your life is affected by mine.
Perhaps we hurried past each other in a crowd today, and neither of us noticed, and the fibers of your coat brushed against mine for single moment and then we were gone. I don't know who you are.
But when you get home this evening, when this day is over and the night takes us, allow yourself a deep breath. Because we made it through this day as well.
There'll be another one along tomorrow.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
