“Not every man remembers the name of the cow which supplied him with each drop of milk he has drunk.”

“The fate of the singers who, like my songs, went up in flame was also the fate of the books which I later wrote. All of them went up in flame to Heaven in a fire which broke out one night at my home in Bad Homburg as I lay ill in a hospital.”

“At the age of nineteen and a half, I went to the Land of Israel to till its soil and live by the labour of my hands. As I did not find work, I sought my livelihood elsewhere.”

“I never said, 'no, I'm not going to do that.' Two things stand out that I really didn't care for, there was the one where they dressed me as a cow. Obviously, I didn't care for it, but I knew it was for 'hahas' for fun stuff. And then, when they put me in a diaper as the New Year's baby, I was like, 'ugh, here we go.'”

“It was jolly in the country. A cow and little pigs to play with and milk warm from the cow.”

“Don't have a cow, man.”
