Text Quotes
Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it  (Wa Quotes) As the little boy said when asked if he wanted to be a lawyer like his mother, Oh no, that's women's work. Logic has nothing to do with oppression  (Wa Quotes) Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage  (Wa Quotes) Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves  (Wa Quotes) My father was the Jewish half of the family, yet it was my mother who taught me to have pride in that tradition  (Wa Quotes) The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters)  (Wa Quotes) Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in  (Wa Quotes) The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not; the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols - all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent's needs  (Wa Quotes) Paradoxically, only journeying backward in time and reentering the home we once knew allows us to go forward to the home we've always wanted  (Wa Quotes) A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying  (Wa Quotes) I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it  (Wa Quotes) I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented  (Wa Quotes) That is my major preoccupation, memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it  (Wa Quotes) What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically  (Wa Quotes) If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching  (Wa Quotes) When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude  (Wa Quotes) I had anger but never hate. Before the war, I was too busy studying to hate. After the war, I thought, What's the use? To hate would be to reduce myself  (Wa Quotes) Waking among the dead, one wondered if one was still alive. And yet real despair only seized us later. Afterwards. As we emerged from the nightmare and began to search for meaning  (Wa Quotes) If someone had told us in 1945 that in our lifetime religious wars would rage on virtually every continent, that thousands of children would once again be dying of starvation, we would not have believed it. Or that racism and fanaticism would flourish once again, we would not have believed it  (Wa Quotes) None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims  (Wa Quotes) What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls  (Wa Quotes) Stretched out on a plank of wood amid a multitude of blood-covered corpses, fear frozen in his eyes, a mask of suffering on the bearded, stricken mask that was his face, my father gave back his soul at Buchenwald  (Wa Quotes) Father raised his glass one last time and we repeated after him: Next year in Jerusalem. None of us could know that this was our last Passover meal as a family  (Wa Quotes) The only place where I felt at home, on familiar ground, was the Jewish cemetery. And yet I had never set foot in it before. Children had been forbidden to enter  (Wa Quotes) While punishing a recalcitrant pupil he suffered; he did not allow it to show because he did not want us to think him weak. He revealed himself only to God  (Wa Quotes) Perhaps some day someone will explain how, on the level of man, Auschwitz was possible; but on the level of God, it will forever remain the most disturbing of mysteries  (Wa Quotes) Granted that every war is madness - civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all; it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity  (Wa Quotes) Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. Does that seem paradoxical? Well, war is not afraid of paradoxes  (Wa Quotes) What if Columbus had been told, Chris, baby, don't go now. Wait until we've solved our number-one priorities - war and famine; poverty and crime; pollution and disease; illiteracy and racial hatred  (Wa Quotes) Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business  (Wa Quotes)
