Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
We are being very nomadic with the truth, yes?
Jonathan Safran Foer

Even if I don't like what I am, I know what I am. My children like what they are, but they don't know what they are. So tell me which is worse.
Jonathan Safran Foer

I'm so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything
Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
We eat as sons and daughters, as families, as communities, as generations, as nations, and increasingly as a globe. We can't stop our eating from radiating influence even if we want to.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
