It's not a democracy here, it's the Middle East.

The Palestinians are not willing to do anything, they're not willing to make the strategic decision to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorist organizations.

Cease-fire is important, but it can last only for a very, very, very short time.

We believe that we should come to an agreement with the Palestinians. But we need two to tango.

We have been in the territories since 1967. In 2002, we had sometimes three or four suicide attacks every day. We came to the conclusion that it can't continue like that.

Suicide bombers caused us more than 50 percent of our casualties. The fence works. There is a decline in the number of those terrorist attacks against Israelis.

In my view, Arafat is the only Palestinian in the world that isn't willing to have an independent Palestinian state.

There's no preventative measure between the Palestinians, between those terrorists to the state of Israel.

I'd like to ask you: what you would prefer us to do? I'd like to ask my colleagues, would any other country act differently? I think the answer is very clear. No one would act differently.

Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.

The security fence is reversible. Human lives are irreversible.

Reading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don't realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even then any movie.

I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.

I may be married to a plastic surgeon, but I'm 98 percent real.

The human race afraid of nothing, rushes on through every crime.

Wildlife is something which man cannot construct. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. Man can rebuild a pyramid, but he can't rebuild ecology, or a giraffe.

It takes courage to reinvent joys, to reinvent opportunities, to reinvent dreams, to reinvent connections, to reinvent hopes that you have set aside.

The fundamental truth guiding social justice comedy is that people are not shitty. That sounds cheesy, but that's how I have to approach it. Everybody has the capacity for change.

It is sometimes difficult to get rid of first impressions.

Women are quite unlike men. Women have higher voices, longer hair, smaller waistlines, daintier feet and prettier hands. They also invariably have the upper hand.
