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.“

„Короче, самое крутое, что я вычитал в National Geographic, это что число людей, живущих сейчас на земле, больше, чем число умерших за всю историю человечества. Другими словами, если все одновременно захотят сыграть «Гамлета», кому-то придется ждать, потому что черепов на всех не хватит!“
