If they embark on this course the difference between the old and the new education will be an important one. where the old initiated, the new merely 'conditions'. the old dealt with its pupils as grown birds deal with young birds when they teach them to fly; the new deals with them more as the poultry-keeper deals with young birds- making them thus or thus for purposes of which the birds know nothing. in a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men; the new is merely propaganda.

Life is a cycle, and mime is particularly suitable for showing fluidity, transformation, metamorphosis. words can keep people apart; mime can be a bridge between them.

Everybody sees a difficulty in the question of relations between arabs and jews. but not everybody sees that there is no solution to this question. no solution! there is a gulf, and nothing can bridge it... we, as a nation, want this country to be ours; the arabs, as a nation, want this country to be theirs.
