“Only different people change the world,” Granny used to say. “No one normal has ever changed a crapping thing.”
Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

“Those who hasten to live are in a hurry to miss,”
Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer

Fredrik Backman
“Our teacher made us write a story about what we want to be when we're big," Noah tells him.
"What did you write?"
"I wrote that I wanted to concentrate on being little first."
"That's a very good answer."
"Isn't it? I would rather be old than a grown-up. All grown-ups are angry, it's just children and old people who laugh."
"Did you write that?"
"Yes."
"What did your teacher say?"
"She said I hadn't understood the task."
"And what did you say?"
"I said she hadn't understood my answer.”
Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer

“It is the touch of a lover's arms that I so desperately crave, not the memories of a love no longer mine.”
D.S. Mixell

Paul Kalanithi
“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
