Change Quote by Walter Mercado
“When you are a child, your father is God to you. Then, as you grow up, you have different gods. You change. But does it really matter? All of the roads lead to the same place, and if you are going in the right direction, it doesn't matter what you are taking - a jet plane or a cart pulled by a donkey.”

![“My interpretation is different. God asks Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" [Genesis 4:9] And Cain answers "Lo yadati, "I don't know" or "I didn't know." Then comes a period, followed by "Am I my brother's keeper?"” quote by Elie Wiesel](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/540/elie-wiesel-341_abel_my-interpretation-is-different-god-asks_1399388.jpg)
