...people with nothing to declare carry the most. - Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

"I said, 'I need to know how he died.'He flipped back and pointed at, 'Why?'So I can stop inventing how he died. I'm always inventing."

"There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So I buried them, and let them hurt me."

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

"I want an infinitely blank book and the rest of time."

"Parents are always more knowledgeable than their children, and children are always smarter than their parents."
