Jonathan Safran Foer Quotes
When I Was Nine, I Had A Babysitter Who Didn't Want To Hurt Anything. She Put It Just Like That When I Asked Her Why She Wasn't Having Chicken With My Older Brother And Me: "I Don't Want To Hurt Anything." [ ... ] What Our Babysitter Said Made Sense To Me, Not Only Because It Seemed True, But Because It Was The Extension To Food Of Everything My Parents Had Taught Me. We Don't Hurt Family Members. We Don't Hurt Friends Or Strangers. We Don't Even Hurt Upholstered Furniture. My Not Having Thought To Include Animals In That List Didn't Make Them The Exceptions To It. It Just Made Me A Child, Ignorant Of The World's Workings. Until I Wasn't. At Which Point I Had To Change My Life.
