Jonathan Safran Foer Quotes About Running

• Dogs are wonderful, and in many ways unique. But they are remarkably unremarkable in their intellectual and experiential capacities. Pigs are every bit as intelligent and feeling, by any sensible definition of the words. They can't hop into the back of a Volvo, but they can fetch, run and play, be mischievous, and reciprocate affection. So why don't they get to curl up by the fire? Why can't they at least be spared being tossed on the fire?

• I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

• Le pedí a mi compañera de colegio Mary que me escribiera una carta. Era divertida y llena de vida. Le gustaba corretear por su casa vacía sin ropa, incluso cuando ya era demasiado mayor para eso. Nada la avergonzaba. Yo admiraba mucho eso, porque a mí todo me avergonzaba, y eso me dolía. Le encantaba saltar en la cama. Saltó en su cama durante tantos años que una tarde, mientras yo la miraba saltar, las costuras reventaron. Las plumas llenaron la pequeña habitación. Nuestras risas mantenían las plumas en el aire. Pensé en los pájaros. ¿Podrían volar si no hubiera alguien, en algún lugar, riendo?

• Find a printer paper and imagine a full-grown bird shaped something like a football with legs standing on it. Imagine 33,000 of these rectangles in a grid. (Broilers are never in cages, and never on multiple levels.) Now enclose the grid with windowless walls and put a ceiling on top. Run in automated (drug-laced) feed, water, heating, and ventilation systems. This is a farm.

• 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.
