“There will always be people who won't understand his decision. Who will call him weak or dishonest or disloyal. They are probably people who live secure lives, who are surrounded by people who share their own opinions and only talk to people who reinforce their own worldview. It's easy for them to judge him - it's always easier to lecture other people about morality when you've never had to answer for anything yourself.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown
