Fredrik Backman
“It's easier to make your way if you choose your own soundtrack”
Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

Amos Oz
“Love is a kind of infection, possessing then releasing you.”
Amos Oz, Between Friends

Fredrik Backman
“Ove’s wife sometimes jokes that the three worst words Ove knows in this life are “Batteries not included.” People usually laugh when she says that. But Ove does not usually laugh.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Amos Oz
“Jednom sam ga sreo pred alatnicom. Pitao sam ga što to čita. Slegao je ramenima i neodlučno mi odgovorio:
"Knjigu. Zašto pitaš?"
Pitao sam ga kakvu knjigu čita.
"O jeziku."
Što konkretno?
"Gramatiku za svakoga. Da skinem već jednom s dnevnog reda pravopis i te stvari."
Pa zar se može "knjiga o jeziku" čitati kao i nekakvo štivo koje čitaš da ti prođe vrijeme?
"Riječi i te stvari", poklonio mi je svoj polagani osmijeh, "to ti je isto kao i poznavanje ljudi. Odakle potječu. S kim su u rodu. Kako se svaka od njih ponaša u različitim situacijama. Osim toga", zastao je i poslao desnu ruku na dugo putovanje oko svoje krupne glave da bi se počešao po lijevoj sljepoočnici, nelogična a ipak gotovo kraljevska gesta, - "osim toga, što znači : 'da ti prođe vrijeme', to uopće ne postoji. vrijeme jednostavno ne prolazi."
Ne prolazi? Kako to misliš?
"Šta ja znam? Možda je upravo obratno: da mi prolazimo u vremenu. Šta ja znam? Ili možda vrijeme prolazi u ljudima? Bi li ti se dalo sjesti malo samnom da sortiramo sjeme? Sjeme je u šupi. U hladu. Osim ako ne želiš raditi nešto drugo. Ili bi možda htio slagati prazne vreće?”
Amos Oz, Black Box

Juan Gabriel Vásquez
“Adulthood brings with it the pernicious illusion of control, and perhaps even depends on it. I mean that mirage of dominion over our own life that allows us to feel like adults, for we associate maturity with autonomy, the sovereign right to determine what is going to happen to us next. Disillusion comes sooner or later, but it always comes, it doesn’t miss an appointment, it never has. When it arrives we receive it without too much surprise, for no one who lives long enough can be surprised to find their biography has been molded by distant events, by other people’s wills, with little or no participation from our own decisions. Those long processes that end up running into our life—sometimes to give it the shove it needed, sometimes to blow to smithereens our most splendid plans—tend to be hidden like subterranean currents, like tiny shifts of tectonic plates, and when the earthquake finally comes we invoke the words we’ve learned to calm ourselves, accident, fluke, and sometimes fate.”
Juan Gabriel Vásquez, The Sound of Things Falling
