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.

Jonathan Safran FoerCompassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use, and the regular exercise of choosing kindness over cruelty would change us.
Jonathan Safran FoerThis isn't animal experimentation, where you an imagine some proportionate good at the other end of the suffering. This is what we feel like eating.

I would send out ugly photographs, thousands of them.
I don't mind if smiles come at my expense, I'm a small price to pay.

I think about all of the things I've done, Oskar. And all of the things I didn't do. The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did.
Jonathan Safran FoerIt made me start to wonderif there were other people so loney so close. I thought about "Eleanor Rigby." It's true, where do they all come from? And where do they all belong?
Jonathan Safran FoerSometimes I wonder if she knows, I wonder in my Nothingest moments if she's testing me, if she types nonsense all day long, or types nothing at all, just to see what I'll do in response, she wants to know if I love her, that's all anyone wants from anyone else, not love itself but the knowledge that love is there, like new batteries in the flashlight in the emergency kit in the hall closet.
