Цитаты из книги Vinnarna

Когда становишься родителем, никто не рассказывает тебе, что это ловушка, вопрос с подвохом, злая шутка: потому что твоих усилий никогда не будет достаточно и ты никогда не сможешь победить.

Быть мягким тоже не плохо: если упадёшь, не разобьешься.

There's an immensity of love that bursts from your chest the first time you hear your child cry, every emotion you've ever felt is amplified to the point of absurdity, children open floodgates inside us, upward as well as down. You've never felt so happy, and never felt so scared. Don't say "don't worry" to someone in that position. You can't love someone like this without worrying about everything, forever.

Everyone I know with any sense has two families, the one they were given and the one they chose. You can't do anything about the first, but you can damn well take responsibility for the second!

Falling in love with a place and falling in love with a person are related adventures. At first we run around street corners giggling and explore every inch of each other's skin, over the years we get to know every cobblestone and strand of hair and snore, and the waters of time soften our passion into unfailing love, and in the end the eyes we wake up next to and the horizon outside our window are the same thing: home.

No one tells you before you procreate that the hardest thing about being a good parent is that you never feel like one.

He has seen good people capable of great evil, but also evil people capable of incredible light. It's the same everywhere. Almost everybody loves too much, hates too easily, forgives too little. But most people want the same things: to live in peace, to make their hearts beat a little slower when the night comes, to earn some money to support the ones they love.

Мы ваши мамы. Мы первыми вас полюбили. Сейчас вас любят остальные, но первыми были мы.

Секундное дело, как первый поцелуй или последнее прости тому, кого теряешь: упустишь шанс и всю жизнь, возможно, будешь гадать, как оно повернулось бы, поступи ты иначе.

• Как ты там говоришь: если ты идиот, это ещё не значит, что ты не прав?
