Fredrick Backman
- A Man Called Ove
He believed so strongly in things: justice and fair play and hard work and a world where right just had to be right. Not so one could get a medal or a diploma or a slap on the back for it, but just because that was how it was supposed to be. Not many men of his kind were made anymore, Sonja had understood. So she was holding on to this one.
Truman Capote
- In Cold Blood
Because once a thing is set to happen, all you can do is hope it won't. Or will - depending. As long as you live, there's always something waiting, and even if it's bad and you know it's bad, what can you do? You can't stop living.
Brandon Sanderson
- The Hero of Ages
To believe it seemed one had to want to believe. He would believe. Not because something had been proven to him beyond his ability to deny but because he chose to.
Brandon Sanderon
- The Hero of Ages
We have to find a balance... The balance between who we wish to be, and who we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.
