Truth has to be given in riddles. People can’t take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the truth in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it.

—Chaim Potok, from The Gift of Asher Lev

Thanks for reminding me of this mind-enlivening piece of art.
