“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 the burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, he cancer of never letting go, is ignorant 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 my thinking ever bring me? If I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness a million times, but never into it.” Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
“Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use, and the regular exercise of choosing kindness over cruelty would change us.” -Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals
