Because I survived, I must do everything possible to help others.

Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.

Whether every story that's there [in the Bible] is a historic truth ... Again, I'm not concerned.

If anyone had told us in 1945 that there are certain battles we'll have to fight again we wouldn't have believed it. Racism, anti-Semitism, starvation of children and, who would have believed that? At least I was convinced then, naively, that at least something happened in history that, because of myself, certain things cannot happen again.

I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.

I needed to know that there was such a thing as love and that it brought smiles and joy in its wake.

My faith is a wounded faith, but my life is not without faith. I didn't divorce God, but I'm quarrelling and arguing and questioning, it's a wounded faith.
