Fredrik Backman
“You're not scared. You're just grieving. No one tells you humans that your sorrow feels like fear.”
Fredrik Backman, The Deal of a Lifetime

Fredrik Backman
“Det är så lätt att döda någon, allt någon som jag behöver är en bil och några sekunder. För folk som du litar på mig, ni kör tusentals kilo metall i hundratals kilometer i timmen rakt ut i mörkret med era mest älskade sovande i baksätet, och när någon som jag kommer från andra hållet litar ni på att jag inte har dåliga bromsar. Att jag inte letar efter min telefon mellan sätena, inte kör för fort, inte glider mellan filerna för att jag blinkar tårar ur ögonen. Att jag inte står på en påfart till III:an med strålkastarna släckta och väntar på en lastbil. Ni litar på mig. Att jag inte är full. Att jag inte kommer döda er.”
Fredrik Backman, The Deal of a Lifetime
