Quotations

“True nonviolence must be based, first of all, on a secure sense of one’s own value as a human being. Violence toward others, far from being an expression of self-worth, is based on a repression of one’s sense of vulnerability which then translates into hostility toward others.” (“Feminism and Peace”, 1983; photo catholicsforchoice.org)
