Quote of the Day: Choose Life

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

― Agatha Christie

4 quotes of Amos Oz

10th September 1979

1

2

3

4

I find the family the most mysterious and fascinating institution in the world.
