More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
What is suffering? I'm not sure what it is, but I know that suffering is the name we give to the origin of all the sighs, screams, and groans — small and large, crude and multifaceted — that concern us. The word defines our gaze even more than what we are looking at.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Factory farming, of course, does not cause all the world's problems, but is is remarkable just how many of them intersect there.
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

Jonathan Safran Foer
Something having been done just about everywhere just about always is no kind of justification for doing it now.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

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
I write because I want to end my loneliness. Books make people less alone. That, before and after everything else, is what books do. They show us that conversations are possible across distances.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Only now do I understand the war against boredom, the lost cause of empty hours, of empty days and nights.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Only humans can cry tears.
Jonathan Safran Foer
It would be possible, in theory, for life and art to be reversed.
Jonathan Safran Foer
You can call your turkey organic and torture it daily.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Grandfather kicked the stop pedal, and my face gave a high-five to the front window.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?
Jonathan Safran Foer
Isn't it strange how upset people get about a few dozen baseball players taking growth hormones, when we're doing what we're doing to our food animals and feeding them to our children?
Jonathan Safran Foer
I did not need to know if he could love me. I needed to know if he could need me.
Jonathan Safran Foer
