«No man and no woman is an island, but everyone of us is a peninsula, half attached to the mainland, half facing the ocean - one half connected to family and friends and culture and tradition and country and nation and sex and language and many other things, and the other half wanting to be left alone to face the ocean.»

Amos Oz, «How to cure a fanatic» in How to cure a fanatic, Princeton & Oxford, Princeton University Press, 2006
