“There are going to be a lot of questions, not just in my country, but across the Middle East. Is Israel going to continue to be "Fortress Israel"? Or, as we all hope, become accepted into the neighborhood, which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony. And no matter what's happening in the Middle East - the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment - the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.” WayBelieveCountryMatterMovingI BelieveChallengesIssuesEconomicMiddleEmotionalSpringHappeningsHarmonyNo Matter WhatRateIsraelCriticalEastAcceptedMoving ForwardNeighborhoodMiddle EastPalestinianUnemploymentIsraeliFortressesArab Spring Author:Abdallah II

“I like pacifists and people who have a heavy emotional identification with deathism and war would probably call me a pacifist, but I am a non-invasivist rather than a non-violentist. That is, I believe that an invaded people have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary. This includes putting ground glass or poison in the invaders' food, shooting at them from ambush, sabotage, the general strike, armed revolution, etc. It's up to the invaded to decide which of these techniques they will use.

“I believe in tension and release, in that if you stay in the the same tone and mode and intensity for too long, it actually becomes monotonous.

“There is scarcely room for doubt that something in the psychological relation of a mother-in-law to a son-in-law breeds hostility between them and makes it hard for them to live together. But the fact that in civilized societies mothers-in-law are such a favourite subject for jokes seems to me to suggest that the emotional relation involved includes sharply contrasted components. I believe, that is, that this relation is in fact an 'ambivalent' one, composed of conflicting affectionate and hostile impulses.” BelieveHardFactsSeemsTogetherLawMotherI BelieveRoomsDoubtSubjectsEmotionalSonInvolvedJokesRelationPsychologicalImpulseCivilizedFavouriteHostileComponentsHostilityIn-lawsAffectionateCivilized SocietyMother In LawAmbivalentSon-in-law Book:Totem and Taboo Source: Totem and Taboo
“The fact that I do place music at the end of my films is not to accentuate the emotion.

“The artist must operate on the assumption that the public consists in the highest order of individual; that he is civilized, cultured, and highly sensitive both to emotional and intellectual contexts. And while the whole public most certainly does not consist in that sort of individual, still the tendency of art is to create such a public - to lift the level of perceptivity, to increase and enrich the average individual's store of values...
