❝Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.
— Jonathan Safran Foer (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)
❝Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.
— Jonathan Safran Foer,
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (via

❝I never thought about things at all, everything changed, the distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn’t the world, it wasn’t the bombs and burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go, is ignorance bliss, I don’t know, but it’s so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.
