More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
How did her life live itself without her.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Our love was the affliction for which only our love was the cure.
Jonathan Safran Foer
As long as I am thinking, I am alive.
Jonathan Safran Foer
If we are not given the option to live without violence, we are given the choice to center our meals around harvest or slaughter, husbandry or war. We have chosen slaughter. We have chosen war. That's the truest version of our story of eating animals. Can we tell a new story?
Jonathan Safran Foer
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
I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I was more alone than if I had been alone.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Hunting will never feed lots of people it will always be a hobby.
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
I did not need to know if he could love me. I needed to know if he could need me.
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
We are being very nomadic with the truth, yes?
Jonathan Safran Foer
I wanted to touch him, to tell him that even if everyone left everyone, I would never leave him, he talked and talked, his words fell through him, trying to find the floor to his sadness.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm sorry for my inability to let unimportant things go, for my inability to hold on to the important things.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I would have done anything for him. Maybe that was my sickness.
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
