Istället för mitt eget liv

"...I printed out some of the pictures I found - a shark attacking a girl, someone walking on a tightrope between the Twin Towers, that actress getting a blowjob from her normal boyfriend, a soldier getting his head cut off in Iraq, the place on the wall where a famous stolen painting used to hang - and I put them in Stuff that happened to Me, my scrapbook of everything that happened to me."

- Extreamly loud and incredibly close, Jonathan Safran Foer
