Naturally, if the Americans had fired a shot, if the Seventh Fleet had done something more than sit there in the Bay of Bengal...yes, the Third World War would have exploded. But, in all honesty, not even that fear occurred to me.

My father was a saint. I'm not.

what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.

Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented; each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.

Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.

I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.

They're the problems of poverty, of the rights of the individual, of the changes brought about by technology. They're the ones that count, more than religion!
