Quotations

"Peace is much more than taking a stance: it is a revolution, a way of living, a way of inhabiting the planet, a way of being a person." (periodismohumano)

On the Gulf War: “There will not be a true state of peace until there are valid and effective moral aims for peace, until violence does not cancel customs, until peace is a vocation, a passion, a faith that inspires and enlightens." (“The Dangers of Peace”, 1990) (photo cvc.cervantes.es)
