Jonathan Safran Foer

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
Every factory-farmed animal is, as a practice, treated in ways that would be illegal if it were a dog or a cat.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wasn’t having second thoughts, but I was having thoughts.
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
You are the only one who has understood even a whisper of me, and I will tell you that I am the only person who has understood even a whisper of you.
Jonathan Safran Foer
One hundred years of joy can be erased in one second
Jonathan Safran Foer
It is unrealistic to think you can have an inflexible identity that never has to give or take or make compromises.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Books are for those without real lives, he thought. And they are no real replacement.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Yesterday I wanted to turn inside out.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Weeks passed like boats waiting to sail into the starless dawn, we were full of aimless endless darkness.
Jonathan Safran Foer
