Patrick Ryan
“What is it about time that confounds us? We spend it. We save it. We while it away. We waste it. We kill it. We complain about not having enough of it, or about having too much of it on our hands. We regret what we’ve done with it. We give it away. We want it back. We say “time and again” when something is bothering us and “it’s time” when something is supposed to end. Felix saw it so clearly: all we should ever want of time is more of it. Life was so simple when it was reduced to the barest of necessities: more time; more air; more Duke Ellington.”
Patrick Ryan, Buckeye

Annie Hartnett
“The cat was amused at these two idiot humans, talking about how unfair death is, when it’s one of the few things everyone gets. Death is a magnificent invention, the cat knew, because it’s the impermanence of life that makes it beautiful.”
Annie Hartnett, The Road to Tender Hearts

Fredrik Backman
“Nothing weighs more than someone else’s belief in you.”
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

Fredrik Backman
“A lack of self-confidence is a devastating virus. There’s no cure.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends
