“I live in a crazy time.”

“Be brave! Let's remember our duty and perform it without complaint. There will be a way out. God has never deserted our people. Through the ages Jews have had to suffer, but through the ages they've gone on living, and the centuries of suffering have only made them stronger. The weak shall fall and the strong shall survive and not be defeated!”

“How wonderful it is that no one has to wait, but can start right now to gradually change the world!

Her advice in the face of melancholy is: "Think about all the suffering in the world and be thankful you're not part of it."

Go outside and try to recapture the happiness within yourself; think of all the beauty in yourself and in everything around you and be happy."”
