This is what I say to the young Jewish boy wondering what
I have done with his years. It is in his name that I speak to
you and that I express to you my deepest gratitude. No one
is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from
the kingdom of night. We know that every moment is a
moment of grace, every hour an offering: not to share them
would mean to betray them. Our lives no longer belong to
us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.
