More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
As I've grown older, I've grown more convinced there's nothing that shouldn't be talked about. If we think we're protecting each other, we're not.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Flea-Market vendors are frozen mid-haggle. Middle-aged women are frozen in the middle of their lives. The gavels of frozen judges are frozen between guilt and innocence. On the ground are the crystals of the frozen first breaths of babies, and those of the last gasps of the dying.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Raising your kids vegetarian is a great way to encourage them to do the opposite of what you want! But the goal is not to have them have the same values that I have. It's to have them act on their values.
Jonathan Safran Foer
As long as I am thinking, I am alive.
Jonathan Safran Foer
While it is always possible to wake a person who's sleeping, no amount of noise will wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Because it was starting to get dark, and because the streets were crowded, I bumped into a googolplex people. Who were they? Where were they going? What were they looking for? I wanted to hear their heartbeats, and I wanted them to hear mine.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We could imagine all sorts of universes unlike this one, but this is the one that happened.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I thought for a minute, and then I got heavy, heavy boots.
Jonathan Safran Foer
You only get to keep what you refuse to let go of.
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
That’s all anyone wants from anyone else, not love itself but the knowledge that love is there.
Jonathan Safran Foer
There is nothing wrong with compromising. Even if you compromise almost everything.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I think after you live it's like before you lived.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Everything is the way it is because everything was the way it was. Sometimes I feel ensnared in this, as if no matter what I do, what will come has already been fixed.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Also, I designed a pretty fascinating bracelet, where you put a rubber band around your favorite book of poems for a year, and then you take it off and wear it.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I dreamt four nights ago of clock hands descending from the universe like rain, of the moon as a green eye, of mirrors and insects, of a love that never withdrew. It was not the feeling of completeness that I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Books are for those without real lives, he thought. And they are no real replacement.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I could not believe in a God that would challenge faith like this.
Jonathan Safran Foer
All really great artists, Jackson Pollack, John Cage, Beckett or Joyce - you are never indifferent to them.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm a novelist, I'm not an activist. I'm not a non-fiction writer, I'm not a journalist. I'm not a foodie, I'm not even really an animal person, or an environmentalist. I did the best I could with this, but it's not who I am.
