Jonathan Safran Foer Quotes About Eyes

• 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.

• It's true, I am afraid of dying. I am afraid of the world moving forward without me, of my absence going unnoticed, or worse, being some natural force propelling life on. Is it selfish?

• Needless to say, jamming deformed, drugged, overstressed birds together in a filthy, waste-coated room is not very healthy. Beyond deformities, eye damage, blindness, bacterial infections of bones, slipped vertebrae, paralysis, internal bleeding, anemia, slipped tendons, twisted lower legs and necks, respiratory diseases, and weakened immune systems are frequent and long-standing problems on factory farms.

• Desde el espacio, los astronautas pueden ver a las personas haciendo el amor como una diminuta mancha de luz. No es luz, exactamente, sino un resplandor que podría confundirse con la luz: un resplandor coital que tarda generaciones en derramarse como la miel a través de la oscuridad hasta los ojos del astronauta. Dentro de un siglo y medio -después de que los amantes que crearon el resplandor se hayan acostado definitivamente sobre sus espaldas- las ciudades metropolitanas se verán desde el espacio. Brillarán todo el año. Las ciudades más pequeñas también se verán, pero con gran dificultad. Los pueblos serán prácticamente imposibles de ver. Las parejas individuales serán invisibles.
