For in my tradition, as a Jew, I believe that whatever we receive we must share.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.

Even in darkness it is possible to create light.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

If I am sufficiently brave to extract the cancer of fear, I have effectively gutted my conviction that what stands before me is impossible.

To experience what isn't, love what is.

Justice has to be cold. Deal with it

Once people are not here physically, the spiritual remains. We still connect, we can communicate, we can give and receive love and forgiveness. There is love after someone dies.

Where humanity sowed faith, hope, and unity, joy’s garden blossomed.

My experience as a writer is that you really do write seven and eight pages to find the paragraph you were after all along.

When working on a period, it is the finer details that evoke imagery that helps in cinematic adaptations.

The media know exactly what they're doing, focusing our attention on Arsenio's hairdo. We need to keep our brains brimming with rubbish. If we didn't, we might think about things.

A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort, and remembered with nostalgia.

Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
