I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.

Religion is a very personal thing for me. Religion has its good moments and its poor moments.

Religion is not man's relationship to God, it is man's relationship to man.

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.

There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. You've already escaped the gravest danger: selection. So now, muster your strength, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves. Hell is not for eternity. And now, a prayer - or rather, a piece of advice: let there be comradeship among you. We are all brothers, and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive.
