“Yes, I lay in my grave. But if you lie in a grave long enough, you get accustomed to it and you don't want to part from it. He had given me a pill of cyanide, He and his wife and their son also carried such pills. We all lived with death, and I want you to know that one can fall in love with death. Whoever has loved death cannot love anything else any more. When the liberation came and they told me to leave, I didn't want to go. I clung to the threshold like an ox being dragged to the slaughter. ("Hanka")”

“Night is a time of rigor, but also of mercy. There are truths which one can see only when it’s dark”

“Even the worm that crawls in the Earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter your God.”

“People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times.”

“If you believe in God, then He exists.”

“If you hear I'm dead, don't come to my funeral.”
