Feeling pain Quote by Jonathan Safran Foer

“Would I jump or would I burn? I guess I would jump, because then I wouldn't have to feel pain. On the other hand, maybe I would burn, because then I'd at least have a chance to somehow escape, and even if I couldn't, feeling pain is still better than not feeling, isn't it?” quote by Jonathan Safran Foer — Download Open image
