Abraham Joshua Heschel

God is of no importance unless He is of supreme importance.

When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.

Tolerance - the function of an extinguished ardor - tolerance cannot seduce the young.

You just have this freedom when you're younger - this lack of concern to fail or do anything wrong. It comes with an ease that I've found has kind of deteriorated over time.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.
