Nobody has said that to me. Everyone knows better.
But phones are cool, see?It'd make a nice smartphone app.
Not to side track but I caught a news glimpse of a vigil a few weeks ago and there was a guy holding up his cellphone with the display of a burning candle and I thought that was so disrespectful. I've been to vigils and there are always extras candles. I wanted to reach through the TV and bitch-slap, him.

It's the new norm.Many believe so and that's what he was doing . . .showing off his phone.
Thanks for posting this - you've just reminded me that I must read this book again!
Great quote - hope you don't mind me mentioning that it's actually a Yiddish quote (Besser a vaitik in harts aider a charpeh in ponem). 'Better a pain in your heart than shame before men'"Better pain in your heart than shame on your face."

Yiddish was used by millions of of Jews in Central & Eastern Europe before the Holocaust - it's part German, part Hebrew and part who-knows.
There were Yiddish newspapers and Yiddish theatre.
But, the Nazis wiped out most of the Yiddish speakers and their culture.
If you've ever said 'bagel', 'nosh' or 'kosher', congratulations, you're speaking Yiddish!
Sorry about the language lesson but I love Yiddish & I want to keep it alive
