Fredrik Backman
“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

Fredrik Backman
“One of all the terrible effects of grief is that we interpret its absence as egotism. It’s impossible to explain what you have to do in order to carry on after a funeral, how to put the pieces of a family back together again, how to live with the jagged edges. So what do you end up asking for? You ask for a good day. One single good day. A few hours of amnesia.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“Is that why you’re here? To talk about that? Sweet Jesus … you men. It’s never your fault, is it? When are you going to admit that it isn’t “hockey” that raises these boys, it’s YOU LOT? In every time and every place, I’ve come across men who blame their own stupidity on crap they themselves have invented. “Religion causes wars”, “guns kill people”, it’s all the same old bullshit!”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“After the funeral Peter couldn’t find a way back out of himself—the pain became too great for him to move at all.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“People sometimes say that sorrow is mental but longing is physical. One is a wound, the other an amputated limb, a withered petal compared to a snapped stem. Anything that grows closely enough to what it loves will eventually share the same roots. We can talk about loss, we can treat it and give it time, but biology still forces us to live according to certain rules: plants that are split down the middle don’t heal, they die.”
Fredrik Backman
