To the citizens of Israel, I say: we have passed difficult years, faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us.

I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China. ↗
