Quotations

"The main obstacle to peace is the conception that war is somehow inevitable. That concept is built into the patriarchal structures of our society, and the people who uphold it are probably the ones who are themselves ready to use violence to achieve their goals. If you believe violence is a solution, it becomes one." (Apr. 16, 2007, World Peoples Blog; photo world-citizenship.org)
