More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer

He Wrote, Are you OK? I told him, My eyes are crummy. He wrote, But are you OK? I told him, That's a very complicated question. He wrote, That's a very simple answer. I asked, Are you OK? He wrote, Some mornings I wake up feeling grateful.
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
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
You have to do something bad to do something good.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Since the world has changed so much, the same values don't lead to the same choices anymore.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I dreamt four nights ago of clock hands descending from the universe like rain, of the moon as a green eye, of mirrors and insects, of a love that never withdrew. It was not the feeling of completeness that I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, and identity.
Jonathan Safran Foer
She saw through the shell of me into the center of me
Jonathan Safran Foer
The end of suffering does not justify the suffering, what a mess I am, I thought, what a fool, how foolish and narrow, how worthless, how pinched and pathetic, how helpless.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wanted to hit him. I wanted to hold him. I wanted to shout myself into his ear.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The dissolution of a family, global crisis creates the massive fracture, not only in the Middle East but between America and Israel, between Europe and Israel, between American Jews and Israeli Jews. The distances seem to be widening wherever you look.
