Quotations

"Real security requires more than bombs and bullets. In an increasingly dangerous world, we won't be safe until we cultivate an understanding that every person's tears are the same color (to borrow a Bosnian phrase), and every dream carries the same weight. My life, my passion, my zeal are in service to that vision." (Half-Life of a Zealot, 2006; photo jfklibrary.org)
