I am patient and am waiting for a profound revolution in the consciousness of the Israelis. The Arabs are ready to accept a strong Israel with nuclear arms - all it has to do is open the gates of its fortress and make peace.

She does not love you. Your metaphors thrill her you are her poet. But that's all there's to it.

I am not a lover of Israel, of course. I have no reason to be. But I don't hate Jews.

I never wanted children, maybe I'm afraid of responsibility.

On this earth there is that which deserves life.
