Before His Death, Rabbi Zusya

If You Want To Raise A Man From Mud And Filth, Do Not Think It Is Enough To Stay On Top And Reach A Helping Hand Down To Him. You Must Go All The Way Down Yourself, Down Into Mud And Filth. Then Take Hold Of Him With Strong Hands And Pull Him And Yourself Out Into The Light.

The Atheist Staring From His Attic Window Is Often Nearer To God Than The Believer Caught Up In His Own False Image Of God.

You Do Not Attain To Knowledge By Remaining On The Shore And Watching The Foaming Waves, You Must Make The Venture And Cast Yourself In, You Must Swim, Alert And With All Your Force, Even If A Moment Comes When You Think You Are Losing Consciousness; In This Way, And In No Other, Do You Reach Anthropological Insight.

When I Meet A Man, I Am Not Concerned About His Opinions. I Am Concerned About The Man.

Everything Is Full Of Sacramental Substance, Everything. Each Thing And Each Function Is Ever Ready To Light Up Into A Sacrament.
