"I am not much of a Zionist-at least not in the way Einstein
is, even though I am one of the curators
of the Hebrew University in Palestine. I recognized the great emotional force,
though, of the Jewish center in the world and thought it would be a rallying
point for Jewish ideals. I was afraid
for a while, though, that Zionism would become the occasion for a revival of
the old religion, but I have been assured by people who have been there that
all the Jews are you religious. Which is a good thing.”
-Sigmund Freud, 1935
