Prufrock had measured out his life with measuring spoons; Dubin, in books resurrecting the lives of others.

Where to look if you've lost your mind?

What suffering has taught me is the uselessness of suffering.

It's one thing for a man not to know, not to have learned; it's another not to be able to live by what one does know.

We have two lives, the life we learn with and the life we live with after that. Suffering is what brings us toward happiness.

You could not pity anything if you weren't a man; pity was a surprise to God. It was not his invention.

For misery don't blame God. He gives the food but we cook it.
