“Sometimes, a flame can be utterly extinguished. Sometimes, a flame can shrink and waver, but sometimes a flame refuses to go out. It flares up from the faintest ember to illuminate the darkness, to burn in spite of overwhelming odds.”
—Karen Hesse, author of The Stone Lamp: Eight Stories Of Hanukkah Through History

Abraham Joshua Heschel: “Every human being has had a moment in which he sensed a mysterious waiting for him. Meaning is found in responding to the demand, meaning is found in sensing the demand . . . There is a question that follows me wherever I turn. What is expected of me? What is demanded of me?”
Brous, Sharon. The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World (pp. 64-65).
