If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and
we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red
interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that
resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so
that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't
exist, and I have tried everything that does.
—Jonathan Safran Foer
