I literally fell among Quakers when I went up to Oxford.

If a dish doesn't turn out right, change the name and don't bat an eyelid. A fallen souffle is only a risen omelette. It depends on the self-confidence with which you present it.

I was not comfortable worshipping another Jew.

For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.

The Christian use of religion as a personal love affair both shocked me, and attracted me.

It was admitted by the early rabbis that the sectarians could be as full of good works as eggs were full of meat.

To my surprise, my 70s are nicer than my 60s and my 60s than my 50s, and I wouldn't wish my teens and 20s on my enemies.
