I love my country more than anything else.

Who thinks seriously that if we sit on another hilltop, on another hundred meters, that this is what will make the difference for the state of Israel's basic security?

There is no ceasefire. There will not be any ceasefire.

The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.

Leadership is tested not by one's capacity to survive politically but by the ability to make tough decisions in trying times.

Israeli lives are worth more than Palestinian ones.

When you fight for the impossible, sometimes you lose everything.

The formula for the parameters of a unilateral solution are: To maximize the number of Jews; to minimize the number of Palestinians; not to withdraw to the 1967 border and not to divide Jerusalem.

Israel always has to be in a position to defend itself against any adversary and against any threat of any kind.

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.

The thought of you makes my days brighter and my nights filled with dreams.

The writer’s life is a sacred wonder.

If you wanna be a writer, you must learn to paint a picture with words.

The kind of energy I attract is very calm.

Annika has the type of game I want to work on. She's just so consistent. Hopefully I'll be like that one day.

I mean, MTV or the mainstream media can tell you one thing, but when there are 40,000 people in front of you, who cares about all that?

And then I graduate two years later, in 1998, with my class. And, since then I've been here in Houston for training basically. And I was very happy to be assigned to this mission.
