I came into the world a Jew, and although I did not live my life entirely as a Jew, I think it is fitting that I should leave as a Jew. I don`t want to turn my back on a great and noble heritage.

If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words "I baptize thee in the name of Abraham"
Martin Luther
My father came from Hungary after the tragedy of Yalta, and my mother`s father was a Jew from Salonika . . . we loved France. We didn`t take it for granted.
Nicolas Sarkozy
The funny thing is I`m actually a Polish Jew who happens to be born in France. My mom is Polish and my dad is Bulgarian. I don`t have an ounce of French blood. But I work it.
Michael Vartan
I had to be careful where I went because I was a Jew, because I was young and because I was handsome. It made me wiry and erratic and paranoid, which is what I still am. Always on guard.
Tony Curtis
[on a visit to Israel in the early 1970s] There was no great significance to that visit, but I`m interested in the fact that Jews are Semites, like Babylonians, Hittites, Arabs, Syrians, Ethiopians. But a Jew is different because a lot of people hate Jews...
Bob Dylan
[On being voted "Italian of the Year" in New York twice, after his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather (1972)]: I`m a Jew from the Bronx. I feel guilty about accepting these awards, but they wouldn`t let me turn them down.
James Caan
My grandfather was a Polish Jew and a socialist, and as a youngster he helped to organize special camps to teach agriculture to all the young men that were moving to Israel, where in 1930, they created the first kibbutz.
Natalie Portman
I have no Italian in me. I`m Cuban, Greek, Romanian, and Sephardic Jew, so I couldn`t get further from Italian. But I guess I`ve been adopted into that family, too.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
[on the US-Iraq war of 2003:] "This is not the first time that Europe has been passive while a Jew-hating tyrant with a weird looking mustache killed the people by giving them gas. [Pause.] Obviously I`m talking about Chef Boyardee."
Sarah Silverman
You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can`t answer slurs, but I`m here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn`t.
Anita Brookner
Well, I had nightmares when I was doing the Klan story all the time. I had a recurring nightmare of basically being exposed as a Jew inside the Klan compound.
Jon Ronson
We pledge to speak up whenever or wherever a Jew is in danger, anywhere in the world, ... We pledge also to speak up on behalf of all people in danger -- in Bosnia, in Rwanda, in Sudan.
Edward Fox
Two children of same cruel parent look at one another and see in each other the image of the cruel parent or the image of their past oppressor. This is very much the case between Jew and Arab: It`s a conflict between two victims.
Amos Oz
Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German.
Stefan Zweig
To have had a religious upbringing at least assures that in your own mind you are a Jew first, and the object of other people`s dislike second
