"Man comes closer to God through the questions he asks Him... Therein lies true dialogue. Man asks and God replies. But we don't understand His replies. We cannot understand them. Because they dwell in the depths of our souls and remain there until we die. The real answers... you will find only within yourself."

"And why do you pray?"

"I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask Him the real questions."

-My favorite passage from Night by Elie Wiesel, which I just finished reading with my students before spring break
