Gregory Maguire Quote
One should see the world, and see himself, as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed, the scale is tipped to the good — he and the world are saved. When he does one evil deed, the scale is tipped to the bad — he and the world are destroyed.’ Interesting. Who said that, your grandmother? Maimonides. The great Jewish scholastic. I didn’t know you read Jewish philosophers. It is said, ‘You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.’ And who said that? Also Maimonides.
