I witnessed a lot of violence, and I found myself asking the question: Do you ever use violence to try to bring about political change?

We have really got to create a culture in our world today where we recognize that every human life is sacred and precious and we have no right to take another human life.

It's not for me to say from the outside what the Palestinian people should have. That would be very arrogant.

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

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.

I have always been inspired by the American peace movement because it is operating in a very hard and militarist environment.
