“Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.”
“I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.”
“I can't say that I've fully achieved my dream yet. I'm just starting to evolve.”
“The doctors of antiquity have affirmed that love is a passion that resembles a melancholy disease. The physician Rasis prescribed, therefore, in order to recover, coitus, fasting, drunkenness, and walking.”
“It's easier to see the mistake on someone else's paper.”
“There are no failures - only feedback.”
“American culture is CEO obsessed. We celebrate the hard-charging heroes and mythologize the iconoclastic visionaries. Those people are important.”
“Longing performs all things”
