Jonathan Safran Foer
How beautiful is forgetting! What relief it would be for the world to lose some of its contents.
Jonathan Safran Foer
If the thrill of hunting were in the hunt, or even in the marksmanship, a camera would do just as well.
Jonathan Safran Foer
He was someone whom everyone admired and liked but whom nobody knew. He was like a book that you could feel good holding, that you could talk about without ever having read, that you could recommend.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The bruises go away, and so does how you hate, and so does the feeling that everything you receive from life is something you have earned.
Jonathan Safran Foer
As a writer, putting words on the page is how I pay attention.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It's almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed.
Jonathan Safran Foer
She brushed her eyelashes against his chest.
Jonathan Safran Foer
