One great hope lies in the fact that there is a new consciousness in our World, particularly among young people.

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

Once we link up and network, there will be new institutions, new beginnings, and a change in the economy because capitalism is destroying many people's lives. It's just one leap to think in a different way.

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.

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

Those of us who believe in human rights and the truth - particularly the journalists and the media - should stand in defense of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning. We owe them a lot for telling us the truth of what is happening in our world, and that is why I would continue to support them.

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.
