“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“... not all monsters look like monsters. There are some that carry their monstrosity inside.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

“Ne vjerujem da mi je unaprijed zapisan put kojim ću proći, jer ne vjerujem u neki naročit red ovoga svijeta. Ne odlučujemo, već se zatičemo. Strmoglavljeni smo u igru, punu nebrojenih izmjena, jednog određenog trenutka, kad nas samo ta prilika čeka, jedina koja nas može sačekati, u toku miješanja. Ne možes je zaobići, ni odbiti. Tvoja je, kao voda u koju padneš. Pa plivaš, ili potones.”
― Meša Selimović, The Fortress

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
