America is now the dominant force and the only countervailing force is Europe.

I think there are two ways in which people are controlled - first of all frighten people and secondly demoralize them.

The people who have sacrificed their view in order to get to the top have very often left no footprints in the sands of time.

I now want more time to devote to politics and more freedom to do so.

The New York Times said, "There are two superpowers in the world: the United States and the world peace movement."

I try not to make political arguments personal. It doesn't help and it switches a lot of people off. The real questions: Will we have peace? Will we have justice? Will we have pensions? Will we have free education? Will we have public services? .... those are the sort of things which interest me. I don't think that having a go at individuals really helps get your point across apart from anything else.

If one meets a powerful person--Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin or Bill Gates--ask them five questions: "What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?
