Quotations

“It is not easy to unlearn violence. The transmitted history and international scene become news have paid the belief that violence is necessary to achieve certain goals. It is not like this. Violence is a drag on the development of free and democratic societies. And if it seems to achieve its objectives, these are contaminated beyond recognition.” (WILPF Spain directors; photo seipaz.org)
