More From Chaim Potok
- "Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a ‘universal’ without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere."
- "A book is sent out into the world, and there is no way of fully anticipating the responses it will elicit. Consider the responses called forth by the Bible, Homer, Shakespeare – let alone contemporary poetry or a modern novel."
- "I’m not altogether certain that a fundamentalism of necessity has to argue that it is the only reading of the human experience in order to stay alive."

- "There is a part of me that still wants to go out and grab a backpack and unplug – not take a cellphone or even a camera and just get out there and experience the world and travel. I have yet to do that, but someday I hope."― Emilio Estevez
- "You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination – at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent."― Renny Harlin
- "A spy, like a writer, lives outside the mainstream population. He steals his experience through bribes and reconstructs it."― John le Carre
