“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“از فاصله ی دور به تماشای خودت بنشین.یک چشم انداز وسیع همواره از شدت مصیبت میکاهد.اگر به اندازه ی کافی صعود کنی به ارتفاعی میرسی که در آن مصیبت دیگر مصیبت بار جلوه نمی کند.”
― سپیده حبیب, When Nietzsche Wept

“Dissect your motives deeper! You will find that no one has ever done anything wholly for others. All actions are self-directed, all service is self-serving, all love self-loving.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession

“Ove had never been asked how he lived before he met her. But if anyone had asked him, he would have answered that he didn’t.”
