This is what i say to the young jewish boy wondering what
i have done with his years. it is in his name that i speak to
you and that i express to you my deepest gratitude. no one
is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from
the kingdom of night. we know that every moment is a
moment of grace, every hour an offering; not to share them
would mean to betray them. our lives no longer belong to
us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.
