“Even if it’s a brow beaten little rabbi, but he’s capable of helping you. Of course, if you can find someone better and even better and even better certainly. If let’s say if Rabbi Shach will accept you as his personal friend and spend time with you, certainly. If the Slobodka Rosh Yeshiva will accept you as his talmid, certainly. If the Lubavitcher Rebbe will let you in to spend time with him certainly. But it’s difficult.”

Rav Avigdor Miller, “Don’t Be an Orphan”, #415 1:00:38
