Succotash my cocker spaniel, you fudging crevasse-hole dipsh... - Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

"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."

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

"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."

"When I heard your organization was recording testimonies, I knew I had to come. She died in my arms, saying 'I don't want to die.' That is what death is like. It doesn't matter what uniforms the soldiers are wearing. It doesn't matter how good the weapons are. I thought if everyone could see what I saw, we would never have war anymore."
