Jonathan Safran Foer Berühmte Zitate

„Ein Junge und ein Mädchen liegen auf dem Boden, vor sich die Dachschräge. Sie konzentriert sich auf den Jungen, der aus dieser Entfernung so aussieht, als wäre er in ihrem Alter. Und selbst aus dieser Entfernung kann sie erkennen, dass das Buch, aus dem er ihr vorliest, "Das Buch der Begebenheiten" ist.
Der Junge schläft ein, und das Mädchen legt den Kopf auf seine Brust. Brod will mehr hören - sie will schreien: LIES MIR WEITER VOR! ICH MUSS ES WISSEN! -, aber sie können sie von dort, wo sie ist, nicht hören, und von dort, wo sie ist, kann sie die Seite nicht umblättern. Die Seite - Brods papierdünne Zukunft - ist, von dort, wo Brod ist, unendlich schwer.“

Jonathan Safran Foer: Zitate auf Englisch

“Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love? Why does anyone ever make love?”

Jonathan Safran Foer buch Extrem laut und unglaublich nah

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2005)
Kontext: I put my hand on him. Touching him has always been important to me, it was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches, my fingers against his shoulder, the outsides of our thighs touching as we squeeled together on the bus. I couldnt explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stiching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love?
