It's not just a question of numbers. There will be more women (in parliament) who are conscious of women's rights ... There will also be women who are not committed to equality.

We are the only people on Earth asked to guarantee the security of our occupier...while Israel is the only country that calls for defense from its victims.

We cannot rely upon the silenced to tell us they are suffering.

Women in politics are more honest and forthright. We are not in it for the ego gratification.

Control does not come from strong police forces, does not come from oppression and repression, does not come from violating people's rights or giving the security systems undue powers

You can't simply redefine Jerusalem. The Palestinian claim is based on legality, on the international recognition that the situation created by the war in '67 is not valid.

It looks like we will have a bi-polar reality.

The rise of Hamas is a product of the failures of political will in the international community, of the absence of the peace process, of the increase in violence and ideology.

It's clear Israel has suspended the peace process, despite the so-called moderation of the Arab world, because it has no interest in peace.

We know what they say, they want all of Palestine (including Israel) and say that negotiations did not work. They talk about wanting reform. That doesn't mean they will do it.

Palestinians were religious in many ways, but they did not subscribe to political Islam, historically.

Have you noticed that everything in Nature, gives back to Nature?

We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

There's a very fine line between pleasure and pain. They are two sides of the same coin, one not existing without the other.

Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold; Not all Apollo's Pythian treasures hold, Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway, Can bribe the poor possession of the day.

There's nothing worse than people who want to make you feel better when you are losing. I just want to smack them.

If I came across a role that is completely mainstream and commercial, but it's the right one, I'd jump at the chance.

The first money I ever earned was for drawing stone tools.

The easiest way to create awareness is through fashion.

Let us hope, I prayed, that a kind Providence will put a speedy end to the acts of God under which we have been laboring.
