“Lucky implies I didn’t do anything. Lucky implies something was given to me. Lucky implies that I was handed something I did not earn, that I did not work hard for.

Don’t call me lucky. Call me a badass.”

― Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

“The silence is deeper than the tunnel. It meanders through the heart of Mars, stretching forever, echoing to places only the lost have ever been. Ragnar”
