Amos Oz Compromise Quotations

I'm a great believer in compromise. I know it's not popular among young idealists.

Compromise is not popular. It's not at all popular among young people who these days call themselves "activists." They think compromises are dishonest, opportunistic, humiliating. Not in my vocabulary.

In my vocabulary, the word "compromise" is synonymous to the word "life".

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. The opposite of compromise is not idealism. The opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death.

I'm a great believer in compromises. I do not believe in capitulation.
