Jonathan Safran Foer
I got tired, I told him. Not worn out, but worn through. Like one of those wives who wakes up one morning and says I can't bake any more bread.

...he enclosed pieces of string that he used to measure out his body--his head, thigh, forearm, finger, neck, everything. He wanted me to sleep with them under my pillow. He said that when he came back, we would remeasure his body against the string as proof that he hadn't changed.
Jonathan Safran Foer
And here I am, instead of there. I'm sitting in this library, thousands of miles from my life, writing another letter I know I won't be able to send, no matter how hard I try and how much I want to. How did that boy making love behind that shed become this man writing this letter at this table?
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, and identity.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Cruelty depends on an understanding of cruelty, and the ability to choose against it. Or to choose to ignore it.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We aren’t exactly emptying the oceans it’s more like clear-cutting a forest with thousands of species to create massive fields with one type of soybean.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I never confused what I had with what I was.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Words never mean what we want them to mean.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm deeply curious about Jewish things. I've toyed around with the idea of going to rabbinical school.
Jonathan Safran Foer
When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Am I such a bad person for dreaming of a world that ends when I do? I don't mean the world ending with respect to me, but every set of eyes closing with mine.
Jonathan Safran Foer
