In 1919 I woke up famous. I’d never guessed it. If I’d known I was famous, I’d have stolen away and wept.

Come to think of it, I am more than a little tired of hearing about how the Jews ‘stole’ land from Arabs in Palestine. The facts are quite different. A lot of good money changed hands, and a lot of Arabs became very rich indeed.

Right from the start, you were a thief, you stole my heart.
