Quotations

“The opposite of war is not peace, but creativity.” (2000, in Sandra Morgen, ed., Security Disarmed, p. 45)

“The tolerance of domestic violence in Serbian society contributed to the proliferation of atrocities committed by combatants on and off the battlefield. In other words, we have here the famous question: ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ The violence of war and the violence of everyday life in Serbian society were locked in a cycle of mutual causation.” (Journal of International Institute, Summer 1997; photo mc.rs)
