The Oz
The Oz
oz. is a common abbreviation for the ounce. Oz or OZ may also refer to:...
thinking decent
I don't think a decent person has to choose between being pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. I think you have to be pro-Peace.
people
If people are pro-Israel, they are pro-Israel one-hundred-and-twenty percent. If they are anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian, they tend to be pro-Palestinian one-hundred-and-twenty percent.
country people tragedy
The Palestinians have no other land. They are absolutely right about this. The Israeli Jews also have no other land and they are absolutely right about this. It is a tragedy of two peoples claiming the same very small country - very small, about the size of New Jersey. And both of them are right. Both of them have no other homeland as peoples. As individuals, maybe, but not as a people.
men fascism decent
Every decent man had to be against fascism, period.
literature
I prefer to talk about the gift of literature rather than its role or task.
literature
You know, gynecology has a role; sex is a gift. And literature is not about sending messages.
writing appearance novel
Each time I have the urge in me to make a statement or send a message or to issue a manifesto, I don't bother to write a novel. I write an article and publish it in a popular newspaper, or I make a television appearance.
simple strive settlement
I would not waste five years of my life in order to send to the Israeli readers a simple message such as, "Let us change a policy or stop the settlements," Or, "Let us strive for peace." This is not what it is about.
literature
Literature is about telling stories.
reading lucky literature
The gift of literature is that, in some lucky cases, reading a novel or a story makes the reader more curious, more open-minded.
eye literature
Literature may open a third eye in the middle of the reader's forehead.
different literature manifest
Literature may make the reader reexamine some of his or her own conventions, look at himself or herself in a different way, look at others in a different way. This goes way beyond just making statements or manifesting principles.
world fantastic science-fiction
There is a document in every novel in the world. Even in the most fantastic novel, even in science fiction, there is a documentary side. But, this side is not the crux of the matter.
thinking perspective donation
I don't think a novel's main donation, main gift, is the document. The document is there, but a novel goes beyond documentation. It goes into opening a new vista, opening a new perspective, showing familiar things in an unfamiliar way, and making the reader reconsider the documentary facts which he or she may have known before.
