With each passage of human growth we must shed a protective structure . We are left exposed and vulnerable - but also yeasty and embryonic again, capable of stretching in ways we hadn't known before.

The present never ages. Each moment is like a snowflake, unique, unspoiled, unrepeatable, and can be appreciated in its surprisingness.

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living.

To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.

Relentlessly savage, 'The Passion' plays like the 'Gospel according to the Marquis de Sade'

A Jew describes another Jew simply as a human being; a Gentile describes him, first and foremost, as a Jew.

My shoes are clean from walking in the rain.

Authenticity is the best route

There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day, but there's no Children's Day. It would mean a lot. World peace.
