“There are two life-forces in the world I know: Jewish and gentile, ours and yours...I do not believe that this primal difference between gentile and Jew is reconcilable. You and we may come to an understanding, never to a reconciliation. There will be irritation between us as long as we are in intimate contact. For nature and constitution and vision divide us from all of you forever.” KnowsWorldBelieveMayLongTwoForceUnderstandingDifferencesVisionForeverConstitutionJewContactIntimateDividesReconciliationPrimalIrritationGentilesTwo Lives Author:Maurice Samuel
“Years of observation and thought have given increasing strength to the belief that we Jews stand apart from you gentiles, that a primal duality breaks the humanity I know into two distinct parts; that this duality is a fundamental, and that all differences among you gentiles are trivialities compared with that which divided all of you from us.” KnowsYearsTwoHumanityBeliefGivenDifferencesBreakFundamentalsJewObservationDividedDualityPrimalTrivialityGentiles Author:Maurice Samuel
