Berl Katznelson quotes:

We fear not the truth, even if it be gloomy, but its counterfeit.

Throughout all the pain of enslavement and despotism, of inquisition, forced conversion, and massacre, the Jewish people has carried in its heart the yearning for freedom and has given this craving a folk expression which includes every soul in Israel, every single downtrodden pauperized soul!

We wanted to raise a generation of heretics, but instead we raised a generation of ignoramuses

Those who will find here a hold for their souls, an anvil for their hands, and vitality for their hearts, will build both their lives and the land.

There is only a single step between impurity and purity.
