“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.

― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“She always wanted those around her to see the greatest possible versions of themselves. That passion made her a fantastic teacher.”
― Lisa Wingate, The Sea Keeper's Daughters
