The life in us is like the water in the river. It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats. It was not always dry land where we dwell. Henry David Thoreau
Each man is obligated to give life to his own being by modeling his personality upon the image of the prophet; he must carry through his own self-creation until he actualizes the idea of prophecyuntil he is worthy and fit to receive the divine overflow. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik
