I believe in the story [ of Adam and Eve]. For me, it's a story.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.

Even in darkness it is possible to create light.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

I didn't get into fighting for the money. I didn't want to be famous. I just want to fight.

I have nothing to lose. My personal casualty means nothing.

If we were able to live at the level of the soul all the time, there would be no need for hindsight to appreciate the great truths of life.

I got three letters today telling me that I'm god. Why can't I pay the rent?

Today is going to be free of the past. Today, the past can't hurt me.

It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.

I'm Michael Jackson-obsessed. All I watch is 'Moonwalker' - it's my favorite movie of all time.

What if I travel so far away in my dreams that I can't get back in time to wake up?

A good friend is one of the hardest things to keep in this life. Don't forget that sometimes you have to work at it.
