{RO} Extrem de tare si incredibil de aproape – Jonathan Safran Foer
1. “Oh, well! So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds and thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!”
2. “It’s not a horrible world, but it’s filled with horrible people.”
3. “What if the water that came out of the shower was treated with a chemical that responded to a combination of thigs, like your heart-beat, and your body temperature, and your brain waves, so that your skin changed color according to your mood? If you were extremely excited your skin would turn green, and if you were angry you’d turn red obviously, and if you felt like shiitake you’d turn brown, and if you were blue you’d turn blue. Everyone could know what everyone else felt, and we could be more careful with each other, because you’d never want to tell a person whose skin was purple that you’re angry at her for being late, just like you would want to pat a pink person on the back and tell him congratulations.”
4. “You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting you from happiness.”
5. “I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.”
6. “You can’t love anything more than something you miss.”
7. “I wanted to know what he was thinking. Who did he miss? What was he sorry for?”
8. “And then a thought came into my brain that wasn’t like the other thoughts. It was closer to me, and louder. I didn’t know where it came from, or what it meant, or if I loved it or hated it. It opened up like a fist or a flower.”

1. „ Oamenii sunt singurele animale care rosesc, rad, au religie, duc razboaie si se saruta cu buzele. Asa ca, intr-un fel, cu cat te saruti mai mult cu buzele, cu atat esti mai om.”
2. „ Vrea sa stie daca o iubesc, asta e tot ce vor oamenii unii de la altii, nu dragostea in sine, ci doar sa stie ca dragostea e acolo.”
3. „ Nu te poti apara de tristete fara sa te aperi de fericire.”
4. „E tragedia iubirii, cel mai mult iubesti lucrurile de care ti-e dor.”
5. „ Tot ce se naste trebuie sa moara, ceea ce inseamna ca vietile noastre sunt ca zgarie-norii. Fumul se ridica mai repede sau mai incet, dar toti zgarie-norii ard si toti suntem captivi inlauntrul lor.”
