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 those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.

I thought that culture and education are the shield. An educated person cannot do certain things and, and be educated, you cannot, and there they were, killing children day after day.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

Man asks and God replies but we don't understand his replies because they dwell in the depths of our souls and remain there until we die.

'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.

Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
