“All adults have days when we feel completely drained. When we no longer know quite what we spend so much time fighting for, when reality and everyday worries overwhelm us and we wonder how much longer we’re going to be able to carry on. The wonderful thing is that we can all live through far more days like that without breaking than we think. The terrible thing is that we never know exactly how many.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“That most people don’t do what we tell them to. They do what we let them get away with.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“Men's memories are uncertain and the past that was differs little from the past that was not”
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“Bitterness can be corrosive. It can rewrite your memories as if it were scrubbing a crime scene clean, until in the end you only remember what suits you of its causes.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown
