Mr. Black Quotes in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
But still, it gave me heavy, heavy boots. Dad wasn’t a Great Man, not like Winston Churchill, whoever he was. Dad was just someone who ran a family jewelry business. Just an ordinary dad.

I wished Mr. Black had written about him, and risked his life to tell the world about him, and had reminders of him around his apartment.
