I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live. - Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

"So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!"

"I thought about all of the things that everyone ever says to each other, and how everyone is going to die, whether it's in a millisecond, or days, or months, or 76.5 years, if you were just born. Everything that's born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they're all on fire, and we're all trapped."

"There's nothing wrong with not understanding yourself."

"The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did."

"I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love."
