Jonathan Safran Foer Quote

The worst it got was 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 of meat 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.
