Wanda E. Brunstetter
“Remember as you go about your day that you may be the only Jesus some of your friends, neighbors, and family will ever see.”
Wanda E. Brunstetter, A Celebration of the Simple Life: Inspiring Thoughts from Amish Country

Chaim Potok
“...a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something.”
Chaim Potok

Chaim Potok
“Literature presents you with alternate mappings of the human experience. You see that the experiences of other people and other cultures are as rich, coherent, and troubled as your own experiences. They are as beset with suffering as yours. Literature is a kind of legitimate voyeurism through the keyhole of language where you really come to know other people's lives--their anguish, their loves, their passions. Often you discover that once you dive into those lives and get below the surface, the veneer, there is a real closeness.”
Chaim Potok

Wanda E. Brunstetter
“Disappointments are like weeds in the garden. You can let them grow and take over your life, or you can rout them out and let the flowers sprout.”
Wanda E. Brunstetter, A Cousin's Challenge

Chaim Potok
“But it would have made me a whore to leave it incomplete. It would have made it easier to leave future work incomplete. It would have made it more and more difficult to draw upon that additional aching surge of effort that is always the difference between integrity and deceit in a created work. I would not be the whore to my own existence. Can you understand that? I would not be the whore to my own existence.”
Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev
