Jonathan Safran Foer

I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.

I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.

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

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.

I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.

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.

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.

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

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.
