More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Shyness is when you turn your head away from something you want.
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
It was getting hard to keep all the things I didn't know inside me.
Jonathan Safran Foer
She said, Do you have more things that you need, or more that you don't need? I said, It depends on what it means to need.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The word vegetarian, I think, does a disservice because there are a lot of people who care but maybe don't care, or can't care in an ultimate way. If you think about environmentalism, nobody would ask, Are you an environmentalist or not? The question doesn't make any sense.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Thanksgiving is the holiday that encompasses all others. All of them, from Martin Luther King Day to Arbor Day to Christmas to Valentine's Day, are in one way or another about being thankful.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Oh, I'd say I like a meal as much as anybody. But I find a certain kind of foodiness silly, gluttonous and embarrassing.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Stories about food are stories about us-our history and our values.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I can't even say 'hair pie,'' I told him, 'unless I'm talking about an actual pie made out of rabbits.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I've never particularly liked bankers.
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
I need an office, so I can have a place where I don't write.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I realized that your mother couldn't see the emptiness, she couldn't see anything...All of the words I'd written to her over all of those years, had I never said anything to hear at all?
Jonathan Safran Foer
What's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What's so great about feeling and dreaming?
Jonathan Safran Foer
People who become used to saying little become used to feeling little.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Since the world has changed so much, the same values don't lead to the same choices anymore.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I used to think that humor was the only way to appreciate how wonderful and terrible the world is, to celebrate how big life is. But now I think the opposite. Humor is a way of shrinking from that wonderful and terrible world.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I would have done anything for him. Maybe that was my sickness.
Jonathan Safran Foer
