Extras Quotes - Page 33

• Any life he'd ever heard of, his own included, was burdened with emotions - love, loss, jobs, jealousy, money, death, pain. But if you were Jewish, always there was this extra one, the added pull at your endurance, the one more thing.

But for some men and women, for some fathers and mothers and children, the world still contrived that one extra test, endless and unrelenting.
