Quotations

“From the sense of responsibility towards their own and others' lives, by making full use of their own authoritativeness, women. . . have dared to believe that they have very, very much power to eliminate war from history. And they tried to act this power. . . the story seems to continue in another direction.” (“Nonviolent Women in the Time of War”, April 7, 2005; photo arachne editrice)
