Jonathan Safran Foer Quotes

I wanted to hit him. I wanted to hold him. I wanted to shout myself into his ear Picture Quote #1

I observe, I write, I try not to remember the life that I didn’t want to loose but lost and have to remember, being here fills my heart with so much joy, even if the joy isn’t mine, and at the end of the day I fill the suitcase with old news Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

How beautiful is forgetting! What relief it would be for the world to lose some of its contents Picture Quote #1

The end of suffering does not justify the suffering, what a mess I am, I thought, what a fool, how foolish and narrow, how worthless, how pinched and pathetic, how helpless Picture Quote #1

That’s all anyone wants from anyone else, not love itself but the knowledge that love is there Picture Quote #1

It’s a rule that we never listen to sad music, we made that rule early on, songs are as sad as the listener, we hardly ever listen to music Picture Quote #1

I started carrying blank books like this one around, which I would fill with all the things I couldn’t say Picture Quote #1

It was terrible. All of the things we couldn’t share. The room was filled with conversations we weren’t having Picture Quote #1

She felt as if she were brimming, always producing and hoarding more love inside her. But there was no release Picture Quote #1

She repeats things until they are true, or until she can’t tell whether they are true or not. She has become an expert at confusing what is with what was with what should be with what could be Picture Quote #1

I kept thinking how they were all names of dead people, and how names are basically the only thing dead people keep Picture Quote #1

Only now do I understand the war against boredom, the lost cause of empty hours, of empty days and nights Picture Quote #1

I didn’t feel empty. I wished I’d felt empty... I wanted to be empty like an overturned pitcher. But I was full like a stone Picture Quote #1

Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use, and the regular exercise of choosing kindness over cruelty would change us Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind if smiles come at my expense, I’m a small price to pay Picture Quote #1

What kind of world would we create if three times a day we activated our compassion and reason as we sat down to eat, if we had the moral imagination and the pragmatic will to change our most fundamental act of consumption? Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want a boy to think I was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought I was pretty Picture Quote #1

It took me as long as I had known him to get rid of all of his words. Like turning an hourglass over Picture Quote #1

I felt it very moving to feel his touch, and to remember that hands can also show love Picture Quote #1

Weeks passed like boats waiting to sail into the starless dawn, we were full of aimless endless darkness Picture Quote #1

Time was passing like a hand waving from a train that I wanted to be on Picture Quote #1

She extended a hand that I didn’t know how to take, so I broke its fingers with my silence Picture Quote #1

I looked at everyone and wondered where they came from, and who they missed, and what they were sorry for Picture Quote #1

Cruelty depends on an understanding of cruelty, and the ability to choose against it. Or to choose to ignore it Picture Quote #1

I’m not better than anyone, and I’m not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what’s right. I’m trying to convince them to live by their own Picture Quote #1

I wanted to protect him, which I was sure I could do, even if I could not protect myself Picture Quote #1

What’s so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What’s so great about feeling and dreaming? Picture Quote #1

She was so beautiful, like someone who you will never meet, but always dream of meeting, like someone who is too good for you Picture Quote #1

I ran rather than walked, anxious to lose my way. All I wanted was to be unsure Picture Quote #1
