Additional quotes by Itzhak Peretz

A letter depends on how you read it, a melody on how you sing it.

The song that from the heart would spring
Is dead for want of echoing.

[About loyalty to Judaism] Don't assume, Jewish intellectuals, that you are doing your duty by working... for so-called Humanity.... You are lighting a fire beneath the open sky, while your own family in your own house is freezing.

With the same bricks one may erect... a palace or a prison.... The same letters are used in Holy Writ and heretical works. - Itzhak Peretz
