I want an infinitely blank book and the rest of time. - Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

"A few weeks after the worst day, I started writing lots of letters. I don't know why, but it was one of the only things that made my boots lighter."

"Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future."

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

"Succotash my cocker spaniel, you fudging crevasse-hole dipshiitake!"

"Why do beautiful songs make you sad?' 'Because they aren't true.' 'Never?' 'Nothing is beautiful and true."
