More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Only humans can cry tears.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wanted to touch him, to tell him that even if everyone left everyone, I would never leave him, he talked and talked, his words fell through him, trying to find the floor to his sadness.
Jonathan Safran Foer
August has passed, and yet summer continues by force to grow days. They sprout secretly between the chapters of the year, covertly included between its pages.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Nine out of ten significant people have to do with money or war!
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

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
I am always sad, I think. Perhaps this signifies that I am not sad at all, because sadness is something lower than your normal disposition, and I am always the same thing. Perhaps I am the only person in the world, then, who never becomes sad. Perhaps I am lucky.
Jonathan Safran Foer
One day you will do things for me that you hate. That is what it means to be family.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I am willing to be annoying if that's what was necessary.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I could not believe in a God that would challenge faith like this.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The hardest part of writing is not to get the ideas but to remember, why it is important to get them.
Jonathan Safran Foer
It can be challenge enough to have to eat with myself.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Is there really anyone, besides Rudy Giuliani, who prefers the new Times Square?
Jonathan Safran Foer
If I’d been someone else in a different world I’d've done something different, but I was myself and the world was the world, so I was silent.
Jonathan Safran Foer
She brushed her eyelashes against his chest.
