“Let's go to bed. Those four words differentiate a marriage from every other kind of relationship. We aren't going to find a way to agree, but let's go to bed. Not because we want to, but because we have to. We hate each other right now, but let's go to bed. It's the only one we have. Let's go to our sides, but the sides of the same bed. Let's retreat into ourselves, but together. How many conversations had ended with those four words? How many fights?”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

“The wanting, the needing, the distance, the disappointment: growing, knowing, committing, aging beside another. Alone, one can live perfectly. But not a life.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

“Use humor as aggressively as chemo. Laugh until your hair falls out. There is nothing that can’t be played for a laugh.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am
