From the movie "Everything is Illuminated" based on a book by Jonathan Safran Foer: I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonathan, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.
Jonathan Safran FoerThe images of his infinite pasts and infinite futures washed over him as he waited, paralyzed, in the present.
Jonathan Safran FoerIt was the first time I had ever made love. I wondered if he knew that. It felt like crying. I wondered, Why does anyone ever make love?
Jonathan Safran FoerWe all choose things, and we also all choose against things. I want to be the kind of person who chooses for more than chooses against.
