"Torah study endows one with an extra soul" -Zohar "Since the Temple was destroyed, G-d only dwells in the four cubits where Torah is studied." -Talmud Berachot 8a   "The Bible has been compared to water, the Mishna to wine, and the Talmud to liquor. All three are necessary, and a rich man enjoys them all." -Talmud Soferim 15:7   "Certain drugs may be beneficial to one person but not to another, but the Torah is a life-giving medicine for all Israel." - Talmud Eruvin 54a   "A beloved princess was being married to a prince in a distant province. The wedding day was a great holiday in the city of the prince, but a day of sadness in the city where the princess grew up. Yet, when the Torah was given, the earth rejoiced but Heaven wept." -Pesikta Rabati 20,1   Said Rabbi Joshua: "Even if all the oceans were ink, all the reeds were quills, the skies -scrolls of parchments and all living men- scribes, they would not be able to record all the wisdom contained in the Torah."
