Yehuda Amichai Quotes

God has pity on kindergarten children Picture Quote #1

And I remember my religiousness as good - I think religion is good for children, especially educated children, because it allows for imagination, a whole imaginative world apart from the practical world Picture Quote #1

The world of religion isn’t a logical world; that’s why children like it. It’s a world of worked-out fantasies, very similar to children’s stories or fairy tales Picture Quote #1

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - Albert Einstein Quotes

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why - Mark Twain Quotes

I think the end is endless. It’s either a big black hole or a big white light or both together. But it’s totally meaningless, because even if someone would explain it, I wouldn’t understand it Picture Quote #1

Knowledge of peace passes from country to country, like children’s games, which are so much alike, everywhere Picture Quote #1

The phrase I like to use to describe my sense of time-a play on comparative literature-is comparative time Picture Quote #1

There are two languages: one as things seem to us and the other of knowledge Picture Quote #1

It was not an adventure; it was my life Picture Quote #1
