The Scandal

by Fredrik Backman

You can’t look a gravestone in the eye and ask its forgiveness.

you have a ‘job’ so you can provide for your family, whereas a ‘career’ is selfish. You have one of those for your own sake.

Anxiety can act as internal gravity, shrinking the soul.

Another morning comes. It always does. Time always moves at the same rate, only feelings have different speeds. Every day can mark a whole lifetime or a single heartbeat, depending on who you spend it with.
