Of course I have ghosts
(You have ghosts?)
(Of course I have ghosts.)
(What are your ghosts like?)
(They are on the insides of the lids of my eyes.)
(This is also where my ghosts reside.)
(You have ghosts?)
(Of course I have ghosts.)
(But you are a child.)
(I am not a child.)
(But you have not known love.)
(These are my ghosts, the spaces amid love.)
— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated
Remarkable novel, pretty great film. I had forgotten about this one, I need to reread it.
Thanks for the reminder.
