Jonathan Safran Foer Quote
I asked him did he really love New York or was he just wearing the shirt. He smiled, like he was nervous. I could tell he didn't understand, which made me feel guilty for speaking English, for some reason. I pointed at his shirt. Do? You? Really? Love? New York? He said, New York? I said, Your. Shirt. He looked at his shirt. I pointed at the N and said New, and the Y and said York. He looked confused or embarrassed, or surprised, or maybe even mad. I couldn't tell what he was feeling, because I couldn't speak the language of his feelings. I not know was New York. In Chinese, ny mean 'you.' Thought was 'I love you.' It was then that I noticed the I♥NY poster on the wall, and the I♥NY flag over the door, and the I♥NY dishtowels, and the I♥NY lunchbox on the kitchen table. I asked him, Well, then why do you love everybody so much?
