—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When people are in trouble they need to talk.”
—A.I. (Albert Isaac)
“I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man’s virtues the means of deceiving him.”

“It is often said that Poland is a country where there is anti-semitism and no Jews, which is pathology in its purest state.”
