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.

I wanted to be calm, like a mound with all its cities destroyed, and tranquil, like a full cemetery.

The memory of my father is wrapped up in white paper, like sandwiches taken for a day of work. Just as a magician takes towers and rabbits out of his hat, he drew love from his small body.

The phrase I like to use to describe my sense of time-a play on comparative literature - is comparative time.

Yehuda Amichai 28 quotes

Tonight I think again of many days that are sacrificed for one night of love. Of the waste and the fruit of the waste, of plenty and of fire. And how painlessly-time.

Knowledge of peace passes from country to country, like children's games, which are so much alike, everywhere.

Behind all this, some great happiness is hiding.

Every intelligent person, whether hes an artist or not - a mathematician, a doctor, a scientist - possesses a poetic way of seeing and describing the world.

Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics.

And I said to myself: That's true, hope needs to be like barbed wire to keep out despair, hope must be a mine field.

Here (Jerusalem), tears do not weaken the eyes, they only polish and shine the hardness of faces like stone.

From the place where we are right, flowers will not grow in the spring.

I’ve never been in those places where I’ve never been and never will be, I have no share in the infinity of light-years and dark-years, but the darkness is mine, and the light, and my time is my own.

The reason a poet is a poet is to write poems, not to advertise himself as a poet.

Yehuda Amichai 28 quotes

I've often said that all poetry is political. This is because real poems deal with a human response to reality and politics is part of reality, history in the making. Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics.

Every intelligent person, whether he's an artist or not - a mathematician, a doctor, a scientist - possesses a poetic way of seeing and describing the world.

I was a very religious child - I went to synagogue at least once, sometimes twice, a day. 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.

Jerusalem is a port city on the shore of eternity.

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.

I was a very religious child - I went to synagogue at least once, sometimes twice, a day. 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.
