“In reading as in other things I have always striven to practice obedience … as far as possible I only read what I am hungry for at the moment when I have an appetite for it, and then I do not read, I eat.”
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
Do justly, now.
Love mercy, now.
Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to complete the work,
but neither are you free to abandon it.
[Talmud]
“In reading as in other things I have always striven to practice obedience … as far as possible I only read what I am hungry for at the moment when I have an appetite for it, and then I do not read, I eat.”
