Kasher in the Rye, by Moshe Kasher

“I firmly believe that everyone should get punched in the face at least once in their life. It builds character. Getting your ass kicked teaches you that your body isn’t a glass menagerie figurine that you could shatter at any trauma. You gotta get lumped up sometimes. Then heal and know you are alright.” – pg. 103

“There are moments in a life that make you think maybe there’s a thread of meaning through this bumbling little experience. Seconds and inches that peel open the epidermis of the universe to reveal the intricate nervous system of interconnectivity that lies within. Things that make you say, ‘There might be something to this God thing after all.’ Little God moments.” – pg. 107

“The great irony of the addict is that the thing he takes, which is the only thing that has ever made life feel good, stops working long before he considers the possibility of life without it.” – pg. 256

“Why that day was any different, I don’t know. There comes a time. The pain of existence transcends the fear of change. There comes a time.” – pg. 282
