“But if by “Zionism” one means the Jewish attachment to the land of Israel and the dream of renewing Jewish sovereignty in our place of origin, then there is no Judaism without Zionism.”
― Yossi Klein Halevi, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor

“It needs to be pointed out that very few of the global carrying capacity models account for human ingenuity. As we have discussed, it is easier not to see things coming than to see them, so we tend to extrapolate into the future directly from the way things are now. That’s unfortunate and, in my view, scientifically wrong, for it eliminates an important factor from the equation.”
― David A. Sinclair, Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age—and Why We Don't Have To

“We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.”

“Judaism, Johnson continued, “managed the delicate balance between both—giving equal weight to individual rights and collective responsibility.” This was “very rare and difficult, and constituted one of the Jewish people’s greatest achievements.”
― Dan Senor, The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World

“Don’t be disheartened by my claim that we are the biological equivalent of an old DVD player. This is actually good news. If Szilard had turned out to be right about mutations causing aging, we would not be able to easily address it, because when information is lost without a backup, it is lost for good. Ask anyone who’s tried to play or restore content from a DVD that’s had an edge broken off: what is gone is gone. But we can usually recover information from a scratched DVD. And if I am right, the same kind of process is what it will take to reverse aging.”
― David A. Sinclair, Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age—and Why We Don't Have To
