Jonathan Safran FoerI thought about all of the things that everyone ever says to each other, and how everyone is going to die, whether it's in a millisecond, or days, or months, or 76.5 years, if you were just born. Everything that's born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they're all on fire, and we're all trapped.
Jonathan Safran FoerShe let out a laugh, and then she put her hand over her mouth, like she was angry at herself for forgetting her sadness.
