Love is like a reservoir of kindness and pleasure, like silos and pools during a siege.

Knowledge of peace passes from country to country, like children's games, which are so much alike, everywhere.

Here (Jerusalem), tears do not weaken the eyes, they only polish and shine the hardness of faces like stone.

From the place where we are right, flowers will not grow in the spring.

My poems are political in the deeper sense of the word. Political means to live in your time, to be a man of your time.

A flock of sheep near the airport or a high voltage generator beside the orchard: these combinations open up my life like a wound, but they also heal it. That's why my feelings always come in twos.

I try to stay a civilian, to live as a human, not as a poet.
