quotes

Human nature suggests that if you build it, they will use it (referring to military tools and toys) -- Heather Digby Parton
The face of all the world is changed, I think, since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Our biggest tragedy is that our children learned the logic of war
What you do today has everything to do with where you'll be in six months
Meaning in life is not given but is something actively created -- Viktor Frankl
No idea has ever been defeated by force — not by siege, not by bombardment, not by being flattened with tank treads and not by marine commandos. To defeat an idea, you have to offer a better idea, a more attractive and acceptable one -- Amos Oz
'What Is' may hinder 'What Might Be' for a while, but cannot stay the tide of progress
Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense. --Rumi
