• Dios dio una ley... llamada justicia. Pero ellos se han hecho una ley que es terrible e intrincada, y no pueden escapar de ella, porque la mala voluntad y la buena voluntad están atrapadas por igual en sus mallas, y es oscuridad para los ojos que ven y piedra de tropiezo para los pies que corren. Esta ley se llama necesidad.

• [Keeping kosher was] the symbol of an initiation, like the insignia of a secret brotherhood, that set her apart and gave her freedom and dignity. Every law whose yoke she accepted willingly seemed to add to her freedom: she herself had chosen . . . To enter that brotherhood. Her Judaism was no longer a stigma, a meaningless accident of birth from which she could escape . . . It had become a distinction, the essence of her self-hood, what she was, what she wanted to be, not merely what she happened to be.
