Quotes from Harold S. Kushner

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter so that the world will at least be a little different for our having passed through it.

God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.

The God I believe in is not so fragile that you hurt Him by being angry at him, or so petty that He will hold it against you for being upset with Him.

The path to God is rarely a steady climb upward. We climb, we fall back, and we climb higher again.

I believe that God is totally moral, but nature, one of God's creatures, is not moral. Nature is blind.

One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.
