“A time of war is a time of amplified connection and disconnection. Our allegiance to everything we love takes on a dangerous primacy, while our fear of everything we hate dons the sheep's clothing of righteousness.”

“Why didn't you turn on your heel and walk away?" Oppenheimer's remorseless gaze settled on the horizon. "I'll tell you why - no true scientist would walk away from the possibility of releasing the energy of matter itself, literally transforming the composition of things. Your'er the same as all of us. Our curiosity is boundless. Our morality is convenient.”

“The Torah talks about the Sabbath in different ways. We're told in Exodus to remember, zachor, and keep it holy. In Devarim, it says to observe, shamor, and keep it holy. Zachor speaks to the positive, the bread, wine, prayer, and song, everything we celebrate, eat and drink, and rejoice in. Shamor speaks to the negative - that which is prohibited, the work and play we set aside, the pleasures from which we abstain. This isn't to say these things are good or bad, Hannah. It does not refer to right or wrong. More like inhale and exhale. That which we choose to keep and that which we choose to let go - both are holy.”
