No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language.
From Theodore Bikel
What moves me is neither ethnocentric pride nor sectarian arrogance. I make no claim that Jewish culture is superior to other cultures. But it is mine.
I am a Zionist, an ardent supporter of Israel, its defender when I deem Israel to be right and its critic when I deem it to be wrong.
I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.
I glory in the fact that a human being has multiple talents and exercises them all with a degree of integrity and artistic proficiency. That's what I do.
I am not a specialist but a general practitioner in the world of the arts.
Despite a large body of work in films, TV, theatre and concerts, I am viewed by many as a Jewish artist. I do not resent the label, except for the fact that I disapprove of labels in general.
I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.
Epistemology is the study of knowledge. By what conduit do we know what we know?
After the advent of the written word, the masses who could not - or were not permitted to - read, were given sermons by the few who could.
