I entered the houses, there were houses where the coffee and pita bread were left on the table, and I could not avoid [thinking] that this, indeed, had been the picture in many Jewish towns [i.e., in Europe, during World War II]'.

It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore.

We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us
