“Noah’s cheek is resting against the old man’s collarbone.
“When you’ve forgotten a person, do you forget you’ve forgotten?”
“No, sometimes I remember that I’ve forgotten. That’s the worst kind of forgetting. Like being locked out in a storm. Then I try to force myself to remember harder, so hard that the whole square here shakes.”
― Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer

“Hector looked unconvinced. “Does your job make you rich?”
“Nah, but it does make me happy, and I think that’s more important.”
― Freya Sampson, The Lost Ticket

“We must practice living to the glory of God, actually and determinedly. By meditation upon this truth, by talking it over with God often in our prayers, by recalling it to our minds frequently as we move about among men, a sense of its wondrous meaning will begin to take hold of us.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“I miss all our most ordinary things. Breakfast on the veranda. Weeds in the flower beds.”
She takes a breath, then answers:
“I miss the dawn. The way it stamped its feet at the end of the water, increasingly frustrated and impatient, until there was no more holding back the sun. The way it sparkled right across the lake, reached the stones by the jetty and came onto land, it’s warm hands in our garden, pouring gentle light into our house, letting us kick off the covers and start the day. I miss you then, darling sleepy you. Miss you there.”
“We lived an extraordinarily ordinary life.”
“An ordinarily extraordinary life.”
She laughs. Old eyes, new sunlight, and he still remembers how it felt to fall in love. The rain hasn’t arrived yet.
They dance on the shortcut until darkness falls.”
