More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
It was not the feeling of completeness I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Only someone who'd never been an animal would put up a sign saying not to feed them.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I know lots and lots and lots of vegetarians who think it's perfectly all right to kill animals for food to eat, but don't do it because they think all the ways in which it's done are wrong.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Eating a piece of meat, at its most efficient, we could say is like throwing away six times that amount of food every time you eat it because you're recycling all those calories through it. I know a lot of people who came to this issue not through animal welfare but through wastefulness.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
There is nothing wrong with compromising. Even if you compromise almost everything.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
He promised us that everything would be okay. I was a child, but I knew that everything would not be okay. That did not make my father a liar. It made him my father.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
The gift is for you...The surprise is for me.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We are lying to ourselves and to each other. Lying about what? I don't care if we're lying. I am a bad person. I don't care. I don't care what you are.
Jonathan Safran Foer
My dream went all the way back to the beginning. The rain rose into the clouds, and the animals descended the ramp.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Shyness is when you turn your head away from something you want.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I am willing to be annoying if that's what was necessary.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Every night before putting her to sleep, Yankel counts her ribs, as if one might have disappeared in the course of the day and become the seed and soil for some new companion to steal her away from him.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Whether we're talking about fish species, pigs, or some other eaten animal, is such suffering the most important thing in the world? Obviously not. But that's not the question. Is it more important that sushi, bacon, or chicken nuggets? That's the question.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I'd lost count of the disappointments.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I flipped back through the pad of paper while I thought about what Stephen Hawking would do next.
Jonathan Safran Foer
