Thank you, Jonathan Safran Foer, for your words.

The flow of water carves rock, a little bit at a time. And our personhood is carved, too, by the flow of our habits.

People who become used to saying little become used to feeling little.

Let’s assume, though, that we all have a set number of days to indent the world with our beliefs, to find and create the beauty that only a finite existence allows for, to wrestle with the question of purpose and wrestle with our answers.
