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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Life has no remote....get up and change it yourself!

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence.

Stop opposing the truths.The truth is truth no matter how you take it. It is not going to be changed for your inconvenience.

Mysticism is, in essence, little more than a certain intensity and depth of feeling in regard to what is believed about the universe.

I may die, but the Republic of 1916 will never die. Onward to the Republic and liberation of our people.

To do a dull thing with style-now that's what I call art.

The treatments themselves do not 'cure' the condition, they simply restore the body's self-healing ability.

As man draws nearer to the stars, why should he not also draw nearer to his neighbor?

I much prefer the company of the crew, the sort of 'blue-collar working person.' I much more have that sensibility than what the public perceives as what a typical actor would have.
