Prophetical-Priestly Quotes 2
For me literature must have ethical dimension. the aim of literature…is to disturb. I disturb the reader because I dare to put questions to God, the source of all faith. I disturb the miscreant because despite my doubts and questions, I refuse to break with the religious and mystical universe that has shaped my own. Most of all, I disturb those who are comfortably settled within a system-be it political, psychological, or theological. If I have learned anything in my life, it is to distrust in intellectual comfort.” Elie Weisel
