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.

The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.

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

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

When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.

A Jew must be sensitive to the pain of all human beings. A Jew cannot remain indifferent to human suffering... The mission of the Jewish people has never been to make the world more Jewish, but to make it more human.

The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it.
