“Do you flee from the shadows of the giants of your century,
the great ones whose light blind the eye and whose faults numb the heart? They fill you with hurt, with anger, with
awe, do they not, these giants? They
make ashes out of great ideas, do they not?
Do you flee to pagan worlds remote from the civilization of your
teachers – to test their teachings? To
escape their visions, their echoes, and the shadows that lie between what they
are and what they teach? How far will you
flee?” -Chaim Potok, The Book of Lights
Do not run from you.
