QUOTES

As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned waters of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: "With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas," or, "They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them."

“The war we have to wage today has only one goal and that is to make the world safe for diversity.”

“Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.”

"Governments, systems, ideologies come and go, but it is humanity which remains."
