More From Chaim Potok

Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.

We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way. secular ethics rooted in scientific findings, common experience and common sense can easily be introduced into the secular education system. if we can do that there is a real prospect of making this 21st century an era of peace and compassion.

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
Hope Morning Fear
When people show you their boundaries ("i can't do this for you") you feel rejected...part of your struggle is to set boundaries to your own love. only when you are able to set your own boundaries will you be able to acknowledge, respect and even be grateful for the boundaries of others.

Do not be afriad! i can see that americans are not afraid. they are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. they are, generally speaking, brave, good people. and so i say to you today, always be brave. do not be afraid. do not be afraid. god is with you. do not be afraid to search for god-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. god bless america.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.

I think a writer's job is to provoke questions. i like to think that if someone's read a book of mine, they've had - i don't know what - the literary equivalent of a shower. something that would start them thinking in a slightly different way perhaps. that's what i think writers are for. this is what our function is.

There's times when i'll see a show, or something cooking on tv, and think, "that can really be fun when it's working." but it's a grind. i did that at nbc, it was five days a week. i was doing talk soup and later at the same time. it's a hard job, more difficult than people realize.
