Amos Oz quotes
" A conflict begins and ends in the hearts and minds of people, not in the hilltops. "

Amos Oz
" All of my novels are democracies. "

Amos Oz
" And in this respect, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy, a clash between one very powerful, very convincing, very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful, no less convincing claim. "

Amos Oz
" And my colleagues and I have been working, trying... not to find the sentimental happy ending, a brotherly love, a sudden honeymoon to the Israeli-Palestinian tragedy, but a Chekhovian ending, which means clenched teeth compromise. "

Amos Oz
" As the years passed I became aware that Jerusalem, under British rule in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, must be a fascinatingly cultured city. "

Amos Oz
" Books filled our home. My father could read sixteen or seventeen languages and could speak eleven (all with a Russian accent). My mother spoke four or five languages and read seven or eight. "

Amos Oz
" But for 30 years, Orthodox leaders have tipped the balance between hawks and doves, and have been in a position to determine who forms a coalition and who runs the country. "

Amos Oz
" But The Same Sea is set precisely in this Israel, which never makes it to the news headlines anywhere. It is a novel about everyday people far removed from fundamentalism, fanaticism nationalism, or militancy of any sort. "

Amos Oz
" Every single pleasure I can imagine or have experienced is more delightful, more of a pleasure, if you take it in small sips, if you take your time. Reading is not an exception. "

Amos Oz
" I find the family the most mysterious and fascinating institution in the world. "

Amos Oz
" I have seen for the first time in 100 years of conflict, the two peoples - the Israeli people and the Palestinian people - are ahead of their leaderships. "

Amos Oz
" I recommend the art of slow reading. "

Amos Oz
" I think Arafat and Sharon are almost handcuffed to one another in the sense of being the slaves of the past, of the traumatized past - lack of trust, lack of goodwill, lack of vision, lack of imagination and lack of political courage. "

Amos Oz
" I was born and bred in a tiny, low-ceilinged ground-floor apartment. "

Amos Oz
" I wrote a novel about Israelis who live their own lives on the slope of a volcano. Near a volcano one still falls in love, one still gets jealous, one still wants a promotion, one still gossips. "
