Quote by Leanne Hall

“Henny Penny," says Lupe. "Do you know this story?" I shake my head. Conversations with her can turn cryptic in the blink of an eye. "She thinks the sky is falling. Do you see my meaning?" "Not really." "Sometimes you have to let the world end, so you can build a new one.”

“The occupying countries, the three nuclear forces, have put everything not on the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but on the beauty of this land of Jammu and Kashmir. They want to occupy this land, not human beings! The day when the three occupiers, Pakistan, India and China, any one of the occupiers tried to conquer the people here, then positive results can be obtained, hatred can be erased, but it is not possible for the three occupiers to have anything to do with the people here. No, but it should be green land”

“The road to Sepharad does not end at the border of Spain or Portugal. It ends when the descendant feels, for the first time, that they are no longer in exile. It ends when the shadows of the past are finally met with the light of the present. Beyond the passport lies a future where the Sephardim are no longer a people defined by their expulsion, but a people defined by their return. We have pulled the ancestors from oblivion. Now, it is our turn to walk the path they could only dream of".”

“You can't be serious. Your temple was destroyed two thousand years ago and you're grieving today?” Yes, as if it had happened only yesterday. “A lot of people have told me the Jews were crazy,” she said. “They were right.” Yes, we're crazy. “It's human nature to forget what hurts you, isn't it? Wasn't forgetfulness a gift of the gods to the ancient world? Without it, life would be intolerable, wouldn't it?” Yes, but the Jews live by other rules. For a Jew, nothing is more important than memory. He is bound to his origins by memory. It is memory that connects him to Abraham, Moses and Rabbi Akiba. If he denies memory he will have denied his own honor. “So you insist on keeping all your wounds open?” Those wounds exist; it is therefore forbidden and unhealthy to pretend that they don't.”
