Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer
I've never particularly liked bankers.
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

Jonathan Safran Foer
Be the instrument playing the sound of your life's passing
Jonathan Safran Foer
