Jonathan Safran Foer
And here I am, instead of there. I'm sitting in this library, thousands of miles from my life, writing another letter I know I won't be able to send, no matter how hard I try and how much I want to. How did that boy making love behind that shed become this man writing this letter at this table?
Jonathan Safran Foer
I think after you live it's like before you lived.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I went to the guest room and pretended to write. I hit the space bar again and again and again. My life story was spaces.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I desperately wish I had my tambourine with me now, because even after everything I'm still wearing heavy boots, and sometimes it helps to play a good beat
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
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.
Jonathan Safran Foer
