If I Have One Vanity

But, When I Toil In The Field Of Jewish Culture Which I Frequently Do, I Am Indeed A Jewish Artist.

What Moves Me Is Neither Ethnocentric Pride Nor Sectarian Arrogance. I Make No Claim That Jewish Culture Is Superior To Other Cultures. But It Is Mine.

Right Up To The Middle Of This Century All Perceptions Of The World Around Us Were Delivered Via The Bookshelf Or The Paper Route.

You Can't Expect The Entire World To Come To New York To See You. You Have To Travel To Them.

For I Firmly Believe That Jewish Life, Indeed Any Communal Life, Can Only Be Organized According To Democratic Principles.
