“Whenever a person can save another person’s life but fails to do so, he transgresses a negative commandment, as (Lev.19:16) states: ‘Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor.’ Similarly, [this commandment applies] when a person sees a colleague drowning at sea or being attacked by robbers or a wild animal, and he can save him himself or can hire others to save him. Similarly, [it applies] when he hears [others] conspiring to harm a colleague or planning a snare for him, and he does not inform him and notify him [of the danger].”

“Love is what redeems us from the prison cell of the self and all the sickness to which the narcissistic self is prone—from empty pride to deep depression to a sense of nihilism and the abyss.”

“Don’t settle. Don’t finish crappy books. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off it.”

“When I say, I love you, it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.”
