Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.

Alan BersinAs a physician I have sympathy for patients suffering from pain and other medical conditions.

Thomas S. MonsonI was taught that candles are like house cats - domesticated versions of something wild and dangerous. There's no way to know how much of that killer instinct lurks in the darkness.

Candles are a staple of the Judaic existence and, like many suburban residents before us, we're pretty bad Jews.
