My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok

5.0

i worked for--what? how could i explain it? for beauty? no. many of the pictures i painted were not beautiful. for what, then? for a truth i did not know how to put into words. for a truth i could only bring to life by means of color and line and texture and form.

it's near 2:30 in the morning here as i write this. g-d... this book was so much to deal with. i saw myself in asher in so many ways.
