Sholem Asch quotes about
country journey vision
An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.
spiritual creativity men
The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity.
writing ifs creative-writing
Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.
jesus son men
Jesus Christ is to me the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything he ever said or did has value for us today and that is something you can say of no other man, dead or alive. There is no easy middle ground to stroll upon. You either accept Jesus or reject him.
resilience flesh patterns
Youth has the resilience to absorb disaster and weave it into the pattern of its life, no mater how anguishing the thorn that penetrates its flesh.
memories moving-forward opposites
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
