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

I am very hopeful that there is a solution to the Israeli/Palestinian injustice.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.

We reject the way the world is at the moment and we don't accept nuclear weapons

I believe that hope for the future depends on each of us taking nonviolence into our hearts and minds and developing new and imaginative structures which are nonviolent and life-giving for all.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war. We need human security: food, education, health care for our children. We don't want to waste it on wars and militarism. That will be our focus: building a culture that moves away from militarism.

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.
