("O he who diligently studies Torah, and knows what he will answer to Epicurus. Rabbi Johanan said: We have not heard of Epicurus except a foreigner, but Epicurus of Israel - all who dwell in the wilderness (as if to say: let him be abandoned, whose ignorance of Torah is out of malice and not from a lack of knowledge and does not want to accept a reasonable argument, therefore there is no taste to argue with him)" - Sanhedrin 36:2, and so:"For the decree of the way is peace and evil...and from the standard of the division that is in the Holy...and these are the letters of peace: Notary and know what you will answer Epicurus" - R. Nachman of Breslau / Likutei Moharan, Torah 62:2, and so:"It is according to the wisdom of the Remiza. The law that says: Him A window appeared before my eyes as a place that was made for me" - Y. Burla/ Silvers, 73, and also: "He makes time for him, and he is obliged to say, because of the saying and who knows what will happen" - Agnon/ A Guest Leaning Towards the Moon, 199)
