“She was just one person out of several billion, and most people never become individuals to us. They're just people. We're just strangers passing each other, your anxieties briefly brushing against mine as the fibers of our coats touch momentarily on a crowded sidewalk somewhere.

“I can't just drop everything every time Eloise decides to smother us with her own happiness, Alice. I have a life, you know.”
― Grant Ginder, The People We Hate at the Wedding

“Love may disappoint, but that doesn't absolve us from the duty of loving. Of trying to love.”
― Grant Ginder, The People We Hate at the Wedding

“The truth is that this was a story about many different things, but most of all about idiots. Because we're doing the best we can, we really are.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
