A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader. Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here. Being seventy is not a sin. Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom. I don't know why you use a fancy French word like detente when there's a good English phrase for it-cold war. Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this. Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do. Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself. The dog that trots about finds a bone. The man of the Cross, who heads the church whose symbol is the Cross, under which Jews were killed for generations. I could not escape the feeling. It stuck with me. And he felt it-that a Jewess was sitting opposite him. There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row. To be or not to be is not a question of compromise. Either you be or you don't be. To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man. We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel. We have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon - no alternative.We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.What do you gain, Soviet Union, from this miserable policy? Where is your decency? Would it be a disgrace for you to give up this battle? Women's liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one is likely to do anything about that. You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity. |
