It was difficult being a conscientious objector in the 1940's, but I felt I had to stick to my guns.

Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.

I think we communicate only too well, in our silence, in what is unsaid, and that what takes place is a continual evasion, desperate rearguard attempts to keep ourselves to ourselves. Communication is too alarming. To enter into someone else's life is too frightening. To disclose to others the poverty within us is too fearsome a possibility.

Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.

There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.

I believe an international criminal court is very much to be desired.
