Jonathan Safran Foer
“Between any two beings there is a unique, uncrossable distance, an unenterable sanctuary. Sometimes it takes the shape of aloneness. Sometimes it takes the shape of love.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Good people don’t make fewer mistakes, they’re just better at apologizing.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Jonathan Safran Foer
“the desire to wring out a few more drips of happiness almost always destroyed the happiness you were so lucky to have, and so foolish never to acknowledge.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Sometimes feelings are like that - not positive, not negative, just a lot.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Jonathan Safran Foer
“It’s easy to be close, but almost impossible to stay close. Think about friends. Think about hobbies. Even ideas. They’re close to us—sometimes so close we think they are part of us—and then, at some point, they aren’t close anymore. They go away. Only one thing can keep something close over time: holding it there. Grappling with it. Wrestling it to the ground, as Jacob did with the angel, and refusing to let go. What we don’t wrestle we let go of. Love isn’t the absence of struggle. Love is struggle.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am
