Quotes About Existence

Fish are divided from us by surfaces and silence.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer

It takes life to live life
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Objects that don't exist don't exist. If we were to imagine such a thing as an object that didn't exist, it would be that thing that God hated. This is the strongest argument against the nonbeliever. If God didn't exist, he would have to hate himself, and that is obviously nonsense.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Is God sad? He would have to exist to be sad, wouldn't He? I know, she said, giving his shoulder a little slap. That's why I was asking, so I might finally know if you believed! Well, let me leave it at this: if God does exist, He would have a great deal to be sad about. And if He doesn't exist, then that too would make Him quite sad, I imagine. So to answer your question, God must be sad.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer

We all have a set number of days to indent the world with our beliefs, to find and create the beauty that only a finite existence allows for, to wrestle with the question of purpose and wrestle with our answers.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Without love, you die. With love, you also die. Not all deaths are equal.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
I am a very sad person. I am always sad, I think. Perhaps this signifies that I am not sad at all, because sadness is something lower than your normal disposition, and I am always the same thing. Perhaps I am the only person in the world, then, who never becomes sad. Perhaps I am lucky.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
I used to be an atheist, which means I didn't believe in things that couldn't be observed. I believed that once you're dead, you're dead forever, and you don't feel anything, and you don't even dream. It's not that I believe in things that can't be observed now, because I don't. It's that I believe that things are extremely complicated.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer

~ Jonathan Safran Foer

~ Jonathan Safran Foer

~ Jonathan Safran Foer
