Quote by Frederik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“Loving someone is like moving into a house. At first you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you, as if fearing that someone would suddenly come in rushing through the door to explain that a terrible mistake has been made-- you weren't actually supposed to live in a wonderful place like this. Then, over the years the walls become weathered, the wood splinters here and there. And you start to love that house, not so much because of all its perfection, but rather for its imperfections.”

“I have lived in seventy-two cities over the course of my life," the old man said, proudly. "There is no part of the world, I know nothing about." The young people on the bench beside him looked at him with admiration. "And which city did you like best?" one asked him. The old man thought for a long time, then sighed. "Now I look back," he said, "I think I was happiest in the village in the country where I grew up. If it had been the second place I had lived, I like I should have stayed there my whole life. But because it was the first, I convinced myself that there must be somewhere better and have never stopped looking for it.”
