I marvel at the resilience of the Jewish people. Their best characteristic is their desire to remember. No other people has such an obsession with memory.

I was there when God was put on trial....At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray.

Anything you want to say about God you better make sure you can say in front of a pit of burning babies.

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

It is up to us to determine whether the years ahead will be for humankind a curse or a blessing. We always must remember that it is given to men and women to choose life and living, not death and destruction.

There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.

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