It's too easy only to blame the militarists, racists, sexists and other pushers of violence for the mess we're in. What is harder is self-examination, moving beyond caring by looking inward to ask the personal question: What more should I be doing everyday to bring about a peace and justice based world, whether across the ocean or across the living room?

Peace is the result of love, and if love were easy we'd all be good at it.

Give peace a chance, yes, but why not get serious and give it a place in the curriculum: peace courses in every school, every grade, every nation. Unless we teach our children peace, someone else will teach them violence.

The most revolutionary thing anybody can do is to raise good, honest and generous children who will question the answers of people who say the answer is violence. That's what the schools should be doing.

The failure of love, that's what all laws are really.

The earth is too small a star and we too brief a visitor upon it for anything to matter more than the struggle for peace.

Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago.
