Jonathan Safran FoerI am not a bad person. I am a good person who has lived in a bad time." Alex's grandfather..Everything is Illuminated
Jonathan Safran FoerIt'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? Am I such a bad person for dreaming of a world that ends when I do? I don't mean the world ending with respect to me, but every set of eyes closing with mine.
