When you do a good turn you feel rich, even if you are broke.

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 still go to a Christian priory for retreats.

I am pleased now that I have lived in a gay as well as a religious ghetto, though it hasn't been very comfortable. Taken together, their limitations cancel each other out and I have seen the world more kindly and more honestly.

Jews are just like everyone else, only more so.

The secular world is more spiritual than it thinks, just as the ecclesiastical world is more materialist than it cares to acknowledge.

During the Second World War, evacuated to non-Jewish households, I encountered Christianity at home and in school.
