For in my tradition, as a Jew, I believe that whatever we receive we must share.

Man’s strength resides in his capacity and desire to elevate himself, so as to attain the good. To travel step by step toward the heights. And that is all he can do. To reach heaven and remain there is beyond his powers: Even Moses had to return to earth. Is it the same for evil?

There are no accidents, only encounters with destiny!

Worse still is that mankind - the non-Jewish world - learned nothing from the Holocaust: The event which had no precedent in history, which should be equal to the Revelation at Sinai in significance.

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

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

Young people want to learn, they are thirsty for knowledge, they want to understand and remember. The main thing is to teach them where not to go. Oppression, not to go; dictatorship, not to go; racism and prejudice, absolutely not to go. This is a moral plan [for society].
