Instead of singing in the shower, I would write out the lyrics of my favourite songs, the ink would turn the water blue or red or green, and the music would run down my legs.

More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.
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
The dissolution of a family, global crisis creates the massive fracture, not only in the Middle East but between America and Israel, between Europe and Israel, between American Jews and Israeli Jews. The distances seem to be widening wherever you look.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything
Jonathan Safran Foer
....Worthy would-be worlds of words, whorls of working wonder.
Jonathan Safran Foer
There are two kinds of sculptures. There's the kind that subtracts: Michelangelo starts with a block of marble and chips away. And then there is the kind that adds, building with clay, piling it on. The way I write novels is to keep piling on and piling on and piling on.
Jonathan Safran Foer
It was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn't think about my life at all.
Jonathan Safran Foer
How beautiful is forgetting! What relief it would be for the world to lose some of its contents.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I could not believe in a God that would challenge faith like this.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wouldn't want a boy to think I was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought I was pretty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
There is nothing wrong with compromising. Even if you compromise almost everything.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Part of living your life is an awareness of the opportunities that can be missed and an awareness that time moves in one direction.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Living on a planet of fixed size requires compromise, and while we are the only party capable of negotiating, we are not the only party at the table. We've never claimed more, and we've never had less.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Everyone performs bad actions... A bad person is someone who does not lament his bad actions.
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
Choosing leaf or flesh, factory farm or family farm, does not in itself change the world, but teaching ourselves, our children, our local communities, and our nation to choose conscience over ease can.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I said, 'I need to know how he died.' He flipped back and pointed at, 'Why?' So I can stop inventing how he died. I'm always inventing.
Jonathan Safran Foer
It was not the feeling of completeness I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Everything is the way it is because everything was the way it was
Jonathan Safran Foer
What does it remember like?
Jonathan Safran Foer
