Similarly, it is only in this world that we can develop the spiritual substance that is the essence of our existence in the World to Come.

— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)

In the book

There are people whose great souls show in everything they do, in the very breadth of their vision and the loftiness of what they long for; aim, with your whole life, to become one of them. The whole reason for this turbulent, ordinary world is that this is the only place the soul's real substance can actually be built — the flying is the forging. And you live, always, in three dimensions at once: your relationship with other people, your relationship with yourself, and your relationship with God. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
