Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I took the world into me, rearranged it, and sent it back out as a question: Do you like me?
Jonathan Safran Foer
Our love was the affliction for which only our love was the cure.
Jonathan Safran Foer
A few weeks after the worst day, I started writing lots of letters. I don't know why, but it was one of the only things that made my boots lighter.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Just because you're an atheist, that doesn't mean you wouldn't love for things to have reasons for why they are.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Dear Anna, we will live in a home with no walls, so that everywhere we go will be our home.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The French, who love their dogs, sometimes eat their horses. The Spanish, who love their horses, sometimes eat their cows. The Indians, who love their cows, sometimes eat their dogs.
Jonathan Safran Foer
