There's nothing wrong with not understanding yourself. - Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

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

"I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone."

"Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living."

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

"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!"
