Book cover for Super Host
It would be nice, he thinks, to be inspired once more, to wake up in the morning and wonder how he’ll pack everything into the day, instead of wondering how he’ll fill it.

Fredrik Backman
“We plant an apple tree today, even if we know the world is going to be destroyed tomorrow. We save those we can.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“Apartments aren't supposed to be investments, Zara replied gloomily.
What are they supposed to be, then?
Homes.”
Fredrik Backman

William Kent Krueger
“The dead are never far from us. They're in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one final puff of air.”
William Kent Krueger, Ordinary Grace

William Kent Krueger
“that people are most afraid of things they don’t understand, and if something frightened you, you should get closer to it. That didn’t mean it wouldn’t still be an awful thing, but the awful you knew was easier to handle than the awful you imagined.”
William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land

Abraham Lincoln
“The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name, liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names, liberty and tyranny. The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.”
Abraham Lincoln
