Able Quote by Jonathan Safran Foer

“I tried the key in all the doors, even though he said he didn't recognize it. It's not that I didn't trust him, becuase I did. It's that at the end of my search I wanted to be able to say: I don't know how I could have tried harder.” quote by Jonathan Safran Foer — Download Open image
