It's okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.

If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war.

I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family.

To stand up for peace and against war and for disarmament is very courageous here in America.

The vast majority of people have never hurt anybody in their lives, don't want killing, don't want wars. In all the countries of the world, they just want to love their families and get on with their lives.

I go to places and I see all these people working on peace education and on a culture of nonviolence and non-killing. You look at all these different movements going on: the environment movement, the interfaith movement, the human rights movement, the youth movement, and the arts movement.
