More quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I got incredibly heavy boots about how relatively insignificant life is, and how, compared to the universe and compared to time, it didn’t even matter if I existed at all.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love? Why does anyone ever make love?
Jonathan Safran Foer
Oskar Schell: If the sun were to explode, you wouldn't even know about it for 8 minutes because thats how long it takes for light to travel to us. For eight minutes the world would still be bright and it would still feel warm. It was a year since my dad died and I could feel my eight minutes with him... were running out.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I try not to remember the life that I didn’t want to lose but lost and have to remember
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I was more alone than if I had been alone.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Since the world has changed so much, the same values don't lead to the same choices anymore.
Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?
Jonathan Safran Foer
It took me as long as I had known him to get rid of all of his words. Like turning an hourglass over.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I flipped back through the pad of paper while I thought about what Stephen Hawking would do next.
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
We shared the smile of recognizing ourselves in each other.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I started carrying blank books like this one around, which I would fill with all the things I couldn't say.
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 want an infinitely blank book and the rest of time.
Jonathan Safran Foer
I've never particularly liked bankers.
