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 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.

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

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.

The security fence is reversible. Human lives are irreversible.

I love you more than I hate everything else.

Make your sacred-life an eventful journey.

But sometimes to keep Evil from getting in, you have to let Good out.

I paid bills and bought groceries and got my eyes checked while the days crumbled away like debris from a cliff face. Life a continuous backing away from the edge.

For my first wedding, I cried all the way down the aisle. My fake eyelash came off. My nose was red. My eyes were swollen. I'm not one of those pretty criers.

In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky; if not, green grass.

One night is awaiting us all, and the way of death must be trodden once. [Lat., Omnes una manet nox, Et calcanda semel via leti.]

People think of security as a noun, something you go buy. In reality, it's an abstract concept like happiness. Openness is unbelievably helpful to security.

And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.

The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.
