Shimon Peres Quotes

“To many, Shimon Peres was an enigma and remains one still. He was different from all the others who worked at his side. A son of Israel whose roots were in a faraway land; a master of the Hebrew language, yet with a foreign accent; the ultimate defense expert of Israel, who had never worn a uniform; a mediocre politician, yet a statesman of splendid vision; a kibbutznik without a formal education, yet abounding in culture; reserved and self-controlled, yet burning with an inner fire; romantic and ambitious, confident but shy, suspicious yet longing for love. A complex man of many faces and many contradictions.”
― Michael Bar-Zohar, Shimon Peres
