Kindness, I've discovered, is everything in life.

As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.

Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter God.

I believe in free will. I have no choice.

Life is God's novel. Let him write it.

In the history of old Jewish literature there was never any basic difference between the poet and the prophet. Our ancient poetry often became law and a way of life.

When literature becomes overly erudite, it means that interest in the art has gone and curiosity about the artist is what's important. It becomes a kind of idolatry.
