“That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly.

That’s the only courageous thing a person can do.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“She’d call me up and say, “I just want to say thank you. This was a perfect day.”

― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere
