David Benioff
“‎I was cursed with the pessimism of both the Russians and the Jews two of the gloomiest tribes in the world. Still if there wasn't greatness in me maybe I had the talent to recognize it in others even in the most irritating others.”
David Benioff, City of Thieves

Saul Bellow
“If I'm out of my mind, it's all right with me, thought Moses Herzog.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Wendy Mogel
“The sages advise us to study Torah lishma-"for its own sake" rather than to impress others with our scholarship. A paradox of parenting is that if we love our children for their own sake rather than for their achievements, it's more likely that they will reach their true potential.”
Wendy Mogel, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children

Philip Roth
“A Jewish man with his parents alive is half the time a helpless infant!”
Philip Roth, Portnoy’s Complaint

Philip Roth
“Doctor doctor, what do you say, lets put the id back in yid”
Philip Roth, Portnoy’s Complaint
