“If nothing matters, there’s nothing to save” 
Jonathan Safran Foer…Een prachtig boek, wat te denken geeft! Laat je informeren over intensieve veehouderij..

Het citaat komt uit een gesprek met de grootmoeder van de schrijver – hoe zij de oorlog overleefde..

“The worst it got near the end. A lot of people died right at the end, and I didn’t know if I could make it another day. A farmer, a Russian, God bless him, he saw my condition, and he went into his house and came out with a piece a meat of for me.”
“He saved your life.”
“I didn’t eat it.”
“You didn’t eat it?”
“It was pork. I wouldn’t eat pork.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“What, because it wasn’t kosher?”
“Of course.”
“But not even to save your life?”
“If nothing matters, there’s nothing to save.”
