“- Учителката ни накара да напишем съчинение за това какви искаме да станем като големи - разказва Ноа.
- Ти какво написа?
- Написах, че първо искам да се съсредоточа върху това да бъда малък.
- Това е много добър отговор.
- Нали? Пък и предпочитам да стана стар, а не голям. Всики големи са ядосани, само децата и старите хора се смеят.
- Написа ли това в съчинението?
- Да.
- Какво каза учителката ти?
- Каза, че не съм разбрал задачата.
- А ти какво й каза?
- Казах, че тя не е разбрала отговора.”

“Perhaps the most important element of each activity is to inspire a group of people to perform at their very best. The best teachers are the unsung heroes and heroines of any society,”

“To love someone is like moving into a house," Sonja used to say. "At first you fall in love in everything new, you wonder every morning that this is one's own, as if they are afraid that someone will suddenly come tumbling through the door and say that there has been a serious mistake and that it simply was not meant to would live so fine. But as the years go by, the facade worn, the wood cracks here and there, and you start to love this house not so much for all the ways it is perfect in that for all the ways it is not. You become familiar with all its nooks and crannies. How to avoid that the key gets stuck in the lock if it is cold outside. Which floorboards have some give when you step on them, and exactly how to open the doors for them not to creak. That's it, all the little secrets that make it your home.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
