Fredrik Backman
“We give those we love nicknames, because love requires a word that belongs to us alone.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Frances Cha
“that the hate mothers-in-law harbor toward their daughters-in-law is built into the genes of all women in this country. The bile festers below the surface, dormant but still lurking, until the son becomes of marriageable age; the resentment at being pushed aside, the anger of becoming second in their sons’ affections. It was not just my grandmother; I have seen it time and time again. That is the one storyline”
Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

Frances Cha
“The only gentlemen I ever see are in those dramas on TV. Those men are kind. They protect you and cry and stand up to their families for you”
Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

Frances Cha
“Us girls, we have been trained for years: “Say that you were the one who wanted to sleep with the customer. You just wanted some money. Got it?” So the girl gets jailed and fined for prostitution, and vilified in society as someone who does this for easy money. The girls who die in the process—the ones who are beaten to death or the ones who kill themselves—they don’t even make the news.”
Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

“We don't have a plan, we just do our best to get through the day because there'll be another one coming along tomorrow. Sometimes it hurts, it really hurts. For no other reason than the fact that our skin doesn't feel like it's ours. Sometimes we panic, because the bills need paying and we have to be grown up and we don't know how. Because it's so horribly, desperately easy to fail at being grown up. Because everyone loves someone. And anyone who loves someone has had those desperate nights where we lie awake trying to figure out how we can afford to carry on being human beings. Sometimes that makes us do things that seem ridiculous in hindsight but which felt like the only way out, at the time. One, single, really bad idea. That's all it takes.”
Frederik Backman
