Look, if I were alone in the world, I would have the right to choose despair, solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone.

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

One can do without solutions. Only the questions matter. We may share them or turn away from them.

Even if people tell me they have historical proof [that it is not historical], that doesn't really bother me.

I think those governments who resent religion, they're afraid of religion because religion may be in their eyes, in their views be seen as a counter government or a parallel government.

I would not like to draw analogies, with the past.Governments, leaders, intellectuals, mainly intellectuals who should know the ethical dimensions, are so important, so essential to culture, religion, to civilization, and to our own lives. And that means what? It means not to be indifferent, not to stand idly by. That is a biblical commandment that we are committed.

In the word question, there is a beautiful word - quest. I love that word. We are all partners in a quest. The essential questions have no answers. You are my question, and I am yours - and then there is dialogue. The moment we have answers, there is no dialogue. Questions unite people.
