More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
She maintained a careful balance by her window, never allowing the men to come too close, never allowing them to stray too far.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.

Jonathan Safran Foer
I think it's a greater risk not to write about 9\11. If you're in my position - a New Yorker who felt the event very deeply and a writer who wants to write about things he feels deeply about - I think it's risky to avoid what's right in front of you.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Highs and lows make you feel that things matter, but they're nothing. So what's something? Being reliable is something. Being good.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We were quiet on the car ride home. I turned on the radio and found a station playing Hey Jude. It was true, I didn't want to make it bad. I wanted to take the sad song and make it better. It's just that I didn't know how.
Jonathan Safran Foer
But come. No explaining or mending. Be beside me somewhere.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it?
Jonathan Safran Foer
If we were to one day encounter a form of life more powerful and intelligent than our own, and it regarded us as we regard fish, what would be our argument against being eaten?
Jonathan Safran Foer
The writing itself is no big deal. The editing, and even more than that, the self-doubt, is excruciatingly impossible.
Jonathan Safran Foer
It is unrealistic to think you can have an inflexible identity that never has to give or take or make compromises.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use, and the regular exercise of choosing kindness over cruelty would change us.
