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

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I've never particularly liked bankers.
Jonathan Safran Foer
...he enclosed pieces of string that he used to measure out his body--his head, thigh, forearm, finger, neck, everything. He wanted me to sleep with them under my pillow. He said that when he came back, we would remeasure his body against the string as proof that he hadn't changed.
Jonathan Safran Foer
