Jonathan Safran Foer цитаты

„Нам нужны громаднейшие карманы — такие, чтобы в них умещались наши семьи, и наши друзья, и даже люди, которых нет в наших списках, незнакомые, которых мы все равно хотим защитить. Нам нужны карманы для муниципальных округов и целых городов, карманы, способные вместить всю Вселенную.
[…]
Но я знал, что карманы не бывают такими большими. В конце концов все потеряют всех. Нет такого изобретения, чтобы это предотвратить, и поэтому в ту ночь я чувствовал cебя, как та самая последняя черепаха, на которой держались все остальные.“
