"I wonder now how the foreign policies of
the United States would look if we wiped out the national boundaries of the
world, at least in our minds, and thought of all children everywhere as our own.
Then we could never drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, or napalm on Vietnam, or
wage war anywhere, because wars, especially in our time, are always wars against
children, indeed our children." - Howard Zinn,
1922-2010.
"A choir is made up of many voices,
including yours and mine. If one by one all go silent then all that will be left
are the soloists. Don't let a loud few determine the nature of the sound. It
makes for poor harmony and diminishes the song." - Vera
Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
"Imagine there's no
countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

its citizens" - Bahá'u'lláh, The Kitab-i-Aqdas: The Most Holy
