More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wouldn't want a boy to think I was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought I was pretty.
Jonathan Safran Foer
When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Everyone performs bad actions... A bad person is someone who does not lament his bad actions.
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 are being very nomadic with the truth, yes?
Jonathan Safran Foer
We shouldn't be intimidated by someone else's idea of perfection if it will prevent us from taking steps we actively want to take.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
If people thought about food more like how we think about the environment, a lot of people would be eating differently and the whole system would look a lot different.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I didn't feel empty. I wished I'd felt empty. ... I wanted to be empty like an overturned pitcher. But I was full like a stone.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Isn't it strange how upset people get about a few dozen baseball players taking growth hormones, when we're doing what we're doing to our food animals and feeding them to our children?
Jonathan Safran Foer

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
I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I could not believe in a God that would challenge faith like this.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Every factory-farmed animal is, as a practice, treated in ways that would be illegal if it were a dog or a cat.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We are not long-term beings. Not heroes of romances in many volumes. For one gesture, for one word alone, we shall make the effort. We openly admit: our creations will be temporary. We shall have this as our aim: a gesture.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Sadness of not knowing enough words to [express what you mean].
Jonathan Safran Foer
