In his early life, he was an assimilated Jewish Austro-Hungarian journalist, popular playwright, political activist, and writer. Though he died long before its establishment, he is generally considered the father of the State of Israel, formed in 1948. Herzl is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence.<br>[1]<br>Contents<br>1<br>Quotes<br>1.1<br>Der Judenstaat<br>[<br>The Jewish State<br>] (1896)<br>2<br>Attributed<br>3<br>Quotes about Herzl<br>4<br>External links<br>Quotes<br>Were I to sum up the Basel Congress in a word — which I shall guard against pronouncing publicly — it would be this:<br>At Basel, I founded the Jewish State<br>.

I had in mind to write a story with a point. There will be those who say, more story than point. After three years we must part, my beloved book. Now you go on your trail of tears. You will have to go through a maze of antagonism and misunderstanding, like through a dark forest. But if you are lucky and meet good people, please send them your father's blessings. He believes that dreams too can be a way to fill the days that man must spend on the face of the earth. The dream is not that far from action as most tend to think.<br>All people's actions were once a dream<br>and all peoples actions will someday be a dream.<br>Postfix to Altneuland (1902)<br>... Let me tell you that my friend and I do not discriminate between humans. We do not ask what race or what religion he is from. He has to be a human being. That is all that's important for us.<br>Altneuland (1902)<br>Der Judenstaat<br>[<br>The Jewish State<br>] (1896)<br>Realists are, as a rule, only men in the rut of routine who are incapable of transcending a narrow circle of antiquated notions.<br>Dream and deed are not as different as many think. All the deeds of men are dreams at first, and become dreams in the end.<br>Some may say we ought not to bring up new differences between people; we ought not to raise new borders, we should rather make the old ones disappear. But men who think in this way are endearing dreamers; and the idea of a native land will still flourish when the dust of their bones will have vanished tracelessly in the winds. Universal brotherhood is not even a beautiful dream. Antagonism is essential to man's greatest efforts.<br>We have honestly endeavored everywhere to merge ourselves in the social life of surrounding communities and to preserve the faith of our fathers. We are not permitted to do so. In vain are we loyal patriots, our loyalty in some places running to extremes; in vain do we make the same sacrifices of life and property as our fellow-citizens. ...In countries where we have lived for centuries, we are still cried down as strangers. ...In the world, as it now is and will probably remain, might precedes right.
