"My strength never came from political echelons, it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there."
"I was born on a farm. My strength has nothing to do with political apparatus. I get my strength from nature, from flowers."
"The sad and horrible conclusion is that no one cared that Jews were being murdered... This is the Jewish lesson of the Holocaust and this is the lesson which Auschwitz taught us."

We are required to take difficult and controversial steps, but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for, for so many years: security, tranquillity and peace."
