I have no sense of nationalism, only a cosmic consciousness of belonging to the human family.

If brains have brought us to what we are in now, I think it is time to allow our hearts to speak. When our sons are killed by the millions, let us, mothers, only try to do good by going to the kings and emperors without any other danger than a refusal.

Women's rights, men's rights-human rights-all are threatened by the everpresent specter of war so destructive now of human material and moral values as to render victory indistinguishable from defeat.

I have no sense of nationalism, only a cosmic consciousness of belonging to the human family.
