I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.

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.

All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.

I was involved in trying to save the Rwandan people and Sudan now. It's a mass murder. Mass murder is a terrifying word. We don't have to go further than that. Cambodia came close to, but what was it, Cambodians killing Cambodians after all. So therefore I think we should be very careful with vocabulary.

There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.

We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything--death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.
