“People can attach themselves to something--an idea, another person, a desire--with an impossibly strong grip, and in the case of restless ghosts, a grip stronger than death.

“Love is a weapon of Light, and it has the power to eradicate all forms of darkness. That is the key. When we offer love even to our enemies, we destroy their darkness and hatred...

― Yehuda Berg, The 72 Names of God: Technology for the Soul™

“You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
