In Hasidism: The Relevance of Hasidism Oct 17, 1991 (25th anniversary)

“So to me, the Kaliver Rebbe, really, are his songs. And when I think of him, it is his songs that I remember. And this is, therefore, the other theme, the last theme that I would evoke. In every one of my novels, there is always somebody who sings. Somebody who feels the urge, the sacred urge, to sing. What are we doing with words, if not trying to turn them into song?”
