Memorable Quotes[]
- "The Jewish people have often been a paradox. We refer to ourselves as the Chosen People, yet that seems to have created so much resentment over the millennia that we often wonder whether this being chosen business is at all positive. And we have been conquerors, and slaveholders, and annexers of territory. We have neither a monopoly on suffering nor on causing it. Our hands are far from clean."
- — (In Between Days: Bread)
