Fredrik Backman
“Becoming a parent? Someone said it’s an invisible tidal wave that hits you with such force that you lose your breath and never quite get it back. You spend your whole life gasping, someone else said, because it’s a love so immense that it squeezes the air out of your lungs. Everyone else thinks you look like the same person afterward, a third said, but you don’t understand any of it, because there’s such a clear before and after. A completely new you.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

George Orwell
“The point is that the relative freedom which we enjoy depends on public opinion. The law is no protection. Governments make laws, but whether they are carried out, and how the police behave, depends on the general temper of the country. If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them.”
George Orwell, Fascism and Democracy

Glennon Doyle
“After a decade of listening to women, I’m convinced that our deepest fears are: Living without ever finding our purpose Dying without ever finding true belonging”
Glennon Doyle, Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living

Ruskin Bond
“He spoke the truth. Rusty always spoke the truth. He defined truth as feeling, and when he said what he felt, he said truth. (Only he didn’t always speak his feelings.) He never lied. You don’t have to lie if you know how to withhold the truth.”
Ruskin Bond, The Room on the Roof

Fredrik Backman
“Joar was good at mending engines, because in them he could always see what was broken, but humans are full of crap you can’t see. We break in the invisible parts.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends
