"Silently the animal catches our glance. The animal……" — Jonathan Safran Foer

"Silently the animal catches our glance. The animal looks at us, and whether we look away (from the animal, our plate, our concern, ourselves) or not, we are exposed. Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something"

— Jonathan Safran Foer
