Jonathan Safran Foer
How did her life live itself without her.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Or maybe what he fears is just the opposite: that nobody is looking that his death, like his life, is without purpose that there is neither greater good nor evil--only people living and dying because their bodies function and then do not that the universe is a rip.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We shared the smile of recognizing ourselves in each other.
Jonathan Safran Foer
