Quotes

  • “I went away and cried to the Master of the Universe, "What have you done to me? A mind like this I need for a son? A heart I need for a son, a soul I need for a son, compassion I want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that I want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"”
  • “Reuven, as you grow older you will discover that the most important things that will happen to you will often come as a result of silly things, as you call them— "ordinary things" is a better expression. That is the way the world is.”
  • “You can listen to silence, Reuven. I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and dimension all its own.”
  • “I don't understand why I wanted to kill you.”
  • “It is never pleasant to be a buffer, Reuven.”
  • “It was senseless, as— I held my breath, feeling myself shiver with fear— as Billy's blindness was senseless.”
