“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
“You may even have Jews in your midst who did not learn their way of life from us, and did not inherit it from a Jewish forebear. We may have authentic gentiles in our midst: these single protests are of no account; they are extreme and irrelevant variations.” WayMayAccountsJewExtremesProtestMidstIrrelevantVariationGentiles Author:Maurice Samuel
“Our Jewishness is not a creed, it is ourself, our totality. Indeed, it may be fairly said that the surest evidence of your lack of seriousness in religion is the fact that your religions are not national, that you are not compromised and dedicated, en masse, to the faith.” MaySaidFactsEvidenceJewDedicatedCreedsSeriousnessTotalityGentiles Author:Maurice Samuel
