I judge people based solely on the quality of bands on the black concert t-shirts they wear.
Will you look into my eyes and tell me that you love me now?
I had build up false pictures in my mind and sat before them. I had never had the courage to demand the truth.
Every moment was a precious thing, having in it the essence of finality.
Sometimes it’s a sort of indulgence to think the worst of ourselves. We say, ‘Now I have reached the bottom of the pit, now I can fall no further,’ and it is almost a pleasure to wallow in the darkness. The trouble is, it’s not true. There is no end to the evil in ourselves, just as there is no end to the good. It’s a matter of choice. We struggle to climb, or we struggle to fall. The thing is to discover which way we’re going.

Israel is a start-up nation, and I think it can be done in other places. I will do it outside the government. I don't need the government.
Keep the faith, and keep going strong!
