More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I didn't feel empty. I wished I'd felt empty. ... I wanted to be empty like an overturned pitcher. But I was full like a stone.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Memory was supposed to fill the time, but it made time a hole to be filled. Each second was two hundred yards, to be walked, crawled. You couldn't see the next hour, it was so far in the distance. Tomorrow was over the horizon, and would take an entire day to reach.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Only humans can cry tears.
Jonathan Safran Foer
As I've grown older, I've grown more convinced there's nothing that shouldn't be talked about. If we think we're protecting each other, we're not.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Songs are as sad as the listener.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I think after you live it's like before you lived.
Jonathan Safran Foer
You have to do something bad to do something good.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I started carrying blank books like this one around, which I would fill with all the things I couldn't say.
Jonathan Safran Foer
If it weren't my life, I wouldn't have believed it.
Jonathan Safran Foer
