Quotations

In the words of Gandhi—nonviolence is also ‘love of others, love of life.’ In the world in which we live, which is a world of change, it can also be the path to open up new democratic, interstate, transnational and international relations.” (Cairo, Feb. 24, 2004; photo liberal-international.org)
