“It's a big universe to be angry at but a long life to have company in.”
― Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer

“Our teacher made us write a story about what we want to be when we're big," Noah tells him.
"What did you write?"
"I wrote that I wanted to concentrate on being little first."
"That's a very good answer."
"Isn't it? I would rather be old than a grown-up. All grown-ups are angry, it's just children and old people who laugh."
"Did you write that?"
"Yes."
"What did your teacher say?"
"She said I hadn't understood the task."
"And what did you say?"
"I said she hadn't understood my answer.”

“Pain is what gives rise to meditation. It has nothing to do with age, let alone beards.”

“Death isn’t fair.” “No, death is a slow drum. It counts every beat. We can’t haggle with it for more time.”
― Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer
