"The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence - these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it." Albert Einstein
"It can be boldly said that there is no such a people like Jews who
spoke about themselves so much and who knew themselves so little . . ."
S. An-sky (Rappoport)
"The Jewish tribe is so talented, so bright that as soon as you take
shackles off those people they immediately start racing with
irrepressible force and they contribute fresh, passionate elements
to the mass of the European genius,knowledge and creative activity
. . .if there were no Jews in the world, if they were deleted from
the world history (not only ancient, but modern too) -only the God
knows to what percentage the general standard would have gone down
and the whole world would have had an absolutely another face."
