One act of violence takes four generations to heal.

women used to be elected only when their husbands died and they became widows. The men found this was too hard on them. That's why they've become feminists.

Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.

I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.

There's no emotion more revolutionary than empathy.

I don't like debates anyway. I have never debated anyone, I think they're a very masculine form - like an intellectual prizefight. They let you know who the better debater is but they don't really tell you about the issue. It's all heat, but no light.

I feel this is very much our spiritual and political duty to be part of every peace table, it has often been the case that citizenry -- women and men -- can make progress when it is not possible for the officials to be able to meet at that moment in time.
