“There's an old Jewish saying: An enemy is someone whose story you do not know. (22)”

“Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do”

“There's always someone who cares. Someone whose life would simply stop. You just don't know it yet, or you haven't found them yet.”

“Someone has said that enemies are just people whose stories we don’t know. I see a lot of truth in that. The more other people’s stories are hidden from us, the easier it is for us to view them as enemies. But, when we begin to learn their stories, we recognize all we share in common with them and we delight in how the unique beauty of their traditions enriches our own lives.”

“Do not expect peace with the enemy whose worth you do not recognize.”

“There is the old catch-22 line that a mentally unstable person can't know, as per their illness, that they are unstable. But that was wrong. You can and do have the insight to see your own crazy.”
