"I think that this is why I relish writing so much. It makes it possible for me to be not like I am, but as I desire for [others] to see me. I can be funny, because I have time to meditate about how to be funny, and I can repair my mistakes when I perform mistakes, and I can be a melancholy person in manners that are intersting, not only melancholy. With writing, we have second chances."

Excerpt from Everything is Illuminated,
a novel by Jonathon Safran Foer
