“What the world does not need is a Haggadah that pats itself on the bac...” — Jonathan Safran Foer Quote

“What the world does not need is a Haggadah that pats itself on the back. It needs a Haggadah that gets out of the way, that starts a conversation and gets out of the way.”

“Why wouldn't - how couldn't - an author care about how his or her books look?”

““I want an infinitely blank book and the rest of time...”

“I love movies, so getting to be in the conversation and meet some of my heroes has been so fun. It's just the most fun thing ever.”

“You may never learn the names of any of the people you talk to in a dog park, even after many, many hours spent there with them, and many hours of conversation. But if - knock on wood - anything should ever happen to your dog, these nameless non-strangers will rally, sympathize, offer to help, and hold your hand. I know this from experience.”

“The premise of any discussion I have is not to debate my humanity. I refuse to engage on that level. It makes for a disappointing conversation, and it makes for bad art.”
