Ugliness is the greatest of all sins.

[About Jews] By nature we are like all other human beings, yet our people is unlike others, because our life is different, our history is different, our teacher is the Exile.

The Hebrew language... is the only glue which holds together our scattered bones. It also holds together the rings in the chain of time.... It binds us to those who built pyramids, to those who shed their blood on the ramparts of Jerusalem, and to those who, at the burning stakes, cried Shema Yisrael!

Ugliness is the greatest of all sins.

A people's memory is history; and as a man without a memory, so a people without a history cannot grow wiser, better.

To be of the eternal, you must be of the earth.

A stranger's rose is but a thorn.
