Book cover for Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood (One World Essentials)
Growing up the way I did, I learned how easy it is for white people to get comfortable with a system that awards them all the perks.

Fredrik Backman
“We can't change the world, and a lot of the time we can't even change people. No more than one bit at a time. So we do what we can to help whenever we get the chance, sweetheart. We save those we can. We do our best. Then we try to find a way to convince ourselves that that will just have to...be enough. So we can live with our failures without drowning.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Isabel Wilkerson
“Evil asks little of the dominant caste other than to sit back and do nothing. All that it needs from bystanders is their silent complicity in the evil committed on their behalf, though a caste system will protect, and perhaps even reward, those who deign to join in the terror.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Fredrik Backman
“The truth of course is that if people really were as happy as they look on the Internet, they wouldn’t spend so much damn time on the Internet, because no one who’s having a really good day spends half of it taking pictures of themselves. Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Fredrik Backman
“[My dad] says you end up marrying the one you don't understand. Then you spend the rest of your life trying.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I run hot and I always have. I am not going to sit around sweating my ass off just so men can feel more comfortable. It's not my responsibility to not turn them on. It's their responsibility to not be an asshole.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
