Jonathan Safran Foer Quote

What Jacob really thought: his father was an ignorant, narcissistic, self-righteous pig, too anal-retentive and pussy-whipped to grasp the extreme reaches of his hypocrisy, emotional impotence, and mental infancy. So we’re in agreement, then? No. So we’re agreed? No. I’m glad you agree with me. But there were arguments for forgiving him, too. There were. Good ones. Beautiful intentions. Wounds.
