We can all do our share to redeem the world in spite of all absurdities and all frustrations and all disappointments.
Abraham Joshua HeschelWe can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn, or scoff at the totality of being.
Abraham Joshua HeschelWe do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting. The self is not the hub but the spoke of the revolving wheel. It is precisely the function of prayer to shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender.
