Quotes

“We have no idea where the world is going, except that it's going there very fast.”
“If we are to cherish freedom, and to guard it, we must remember what the alternative is: the bread of affliction and the bitter herbs of slavery.”
“Marriage, sanctified by the bond of fidelity, is the nearest life gets to a work of art.”
“The twenty-first century is, and will remain, the Age of Insecurity.”
“The first of the "request" prayers in the daily Amidah is a fractal. It replicates in miniature the structure of the Amidah as a whole.”
“The meaning of the word "true" here is similar to the word Amen said after a blessing. It is an act of affirmation and ratification, reminding us that the Shema is less a prayer than a declaration of faith.”
