Hi! I do like this quotation as I totally agree on its point. A good sentence at the right moment can let you see things in a different manner. But I’ve got a language question: how come is “famished” used in a translation from the Talmud if the adjective is regarded as colloquial? I would think that colloquialisms shouldn’t be used in certain texts.
