“Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago.

“Write, if you must; not otherwise. Do not write, if you can earn a fair living at teaching or dressmaking, at electricity or hod-carrying. Make shoes, weed cabbages, survey land, keep house, make ice-cream, sell cake, climb a telephone pole.

It is more likely to be dying by your pen; despairing by your pen; burying hope and heart and youth and courage in your ink-stand.” IfsWritingHeartBookHouseTeachingLandDyingYouthFairsSellsShoesIceAgentsClimbsPensWeedCakeLightningCreamElectricityTelephonesIce CreamInkSurveysCabbageBuryingPeddler Author:Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
