To create is to resist; to resist is to create.

If you want to be a real human being – a real woman, a real man – you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, ‘Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action.’

I never felt like a good Jew. My mother was not Jewish, and that makes me a non-Jew according to Jewish religious law.

I always say that when a country wins with such overwhelming might, it's bad news for that country.
