Quotations

“I have a vision of a better world, where people can live cooperatively, without violence, and that we would be able to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and provide shelter for people if we weren’t spending so much money on war.“ (Boston Globe, Dec. 13, 2010; photo grassrootspeace.org)
