“It’s difficult to know when love blooms; suddenly one day you wake up and it’s in full flower. It works the same way when it wilts—one day it is just too late.”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here

“I didn’t need grand gestures or fairy tales; a normal life with the boy I loved would have always been enough.”
― Tillie Cole, A Thousand Boy Kisses

“At a certain age almost all the questions a person asks him or herself are really just about one thing: how should you live your life?”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here

“All marriages have their bad sides, because people have weaknesses. If you live with another human being you learn to handle these weaknesses in a variety of ways. For instance, you might take the view that weaknesses are a bit like heavy pieces of furniture, and based on this you must learn to clean around them. To maintain the illusion.”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie var här
