Literature is the memory of humanity.

I am not ashamed to admit that I belong to those who fantasize that literature is capable of bringing new horizons and new perspectives--philosophical, religious, aesthetical and even social.

As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis.

It is a fact that the classics of Yiddish literature are also the classics of the modern Hebrew literature.

The more you see what other people do, the more you learn about yourself.

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.

I believe in God but people are liars. It's those people who say they are appointed by God who I don't believe in.
