...and when is enough proof enough? - Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

"I imagine a line, a white line, painted on the sand and on the ocean, from me to you."

"I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem."

"You are the only one who has understood even a whisper of me, and I will tell you that I am the only person who has understood even a whisper of you."

"I am always sad, I think. Perhaps this signifies that I am not sad at all, because sadness is something lower than your normal disposition, and I am always the same thing. Perhaps I am the only person in the world, then, who never becomes sad. Perhaps I am lucky."

"With writing, we have second chances."
