...SHARON: I wouldn't go so far to say that destiny preserves me. I managed to survive and to succeed. The strength that I have comes from irrigating the citrus plantation, ploughing in the vineyard, guarding the melon fields at night. I believe that's what gave me the strength...
...SHARON: I thought then that we'd have many more Jews and that's what really happened. I hope now that we'll be able to have more of them. Even now I regard as the most important thing for the government that I lead is of course to have more Jews here.

Declarations, promises, speeches, even signing agreements all are meaningless. Only acts are meaningful. I am ready to make painful compromises...
...SHARON: It's very, very clear that you cannot move to the next phase unless the former one has been fully accomplished. Of course I would like to do it as early as possible. But it depends on the Palestinians. By now I don't see an effort by the Palestinian Authority to give an answer to terror. Terror continues. But I did not lose my hopes with Abu Mazen. He believes that Yasser Arafat caused the suffering of the Palestinians by carrying out a strategy of terror, and he caused the deaths of thousands of Jews, of Israelis...
