I myself think anti-Semitism is about envy.

My wife who is non-Jewish regrets it all the time that I can say these terrible things about fellow Jews and she can't.

That wine drinking is more effete than beer drinking? No question.

The reason 'closure' is a cliche is that it is used too often, too imprecisely, and doesn't in any case reflect reality. In reality, such closure in broken friendships and much else in life is rarely achieved; only death brings closure and then not always for those still living.

The pleasure of jogging and running is rather like that of wearing a fur coat in Texas in August: the true joy comes in being able to take the damn thing off.

Many moons ago dictionaries of quotations may have been less needed than they are today. In those good/bad old days, people walked around with entire poems and all the Shakespearean soliloquies in their heads.

One of the pleasures of being a Jew, I don't have to tell you, it allows you anti-Semitism.
