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.

I believe passionately in the power of people.

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.

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.

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.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.

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