Bob Dishy: Aaron

Quotes 

• Aaron : There are synagogues on almost every block. tiny ones on the side streets, large temples on the Avenue. Over the years I have spoken in most of them. I also know the funeral parlors. Sometimes I imagine they're a kind of cafeteria where one can get a quick eulogy or kaddish on the way to eternity.

• Aaron : [after Esther kisses him in the cafeteria]  You catch fire very easy.

• Aaron : [Narrating about Esther's vision]  It had seemed utter nonsense, but now I began to reappraise the idea. If time and space are nothing more than forms of perception as Kant argues, why shouldn't Hitler confer with his Nazis in a cafeteria on Broadway?

• Aaron : I have played with the idea that all humanity suffers from schizophrenia.

• Aaron : Esther, hope in itself is proof there is no death.
