I will go wherever the truth leads me. it is secular scholarship, rebbe; it is not the scholarship of tradition. in secular scholarship there are no boundaries and no permanently fixed views.” lurie, if the torah cannot go out into your world of scholarship and return stronger, then we are all fools and charlatans. i have faith in the torah. i am not afraid of truth.

The task of all christian scholarship—not just biblical studies—is to study reality as a manifestation of god’s glory, to speak and write about it with accuracy, and to savor the beauty of god in it, and to make it serve the good of man. it is an abdication of scholarship when christians do academic work with little reference to god. if all the universe and everything in it exist by the design of an infinite, personal god, to make his manifold glory known and loved, then to treat any subject without reference to god’s glory is not scholarship but insurrection.

In shakespeare the birds sing, the bushes are clothed with green, hearts love, souls suffer, the cloud wanders, it is hot, it is cold, night falls, time passes, forests and multitudes speak, the vast eternal dream hovers over all. sap and blood, all forms of the multiple reality, actions and ideas, man and humanity, the living and the life, solitudes, cities, religions, diamonds and pearls, dung-hills and charnelhouses, the ebb and flow of beings, the steps of comers and goers, all, all are on shakespeare and in shakespeare.

When i was doing shakespeare and i had spent a lot of time and effort in trying to become a great shakespearean actress. that was how i started my career, was in the theater doing shakespeare. and my ambition was to be a great classical actress. that was what i wanted more than anything. so, i really pursued that in the first four years of my career. and it was an uphill struggle. it really was. shakespeare's difficult and shakespeare in a big theater is even more difficult. so, anyway, it was a struggle for me.
