Peace Pilgrim (born Mildred Norman, July 18, 1908 - July 7, 1981) was an American peace activist renowned for her extraordinary pilgrimage for peace. Beginning in 1952, she walked across the United States nearly continuously for nearly three decades, covering over 25,000 miles to promote peace and nonviolence. A committed vegetarian, she advocated for simple living and authored the book "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in the Cause of Peace." Her dedication to walking rather than driving, and her message of inner peace as the foundation for world peace, made her a legendary figure in the American peace movement. more

“Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan.”

“I'm always confused when people say how much they miss 'Invader Zim' because the show never stopped running in my head, and then I remember everyone else isn't in my head. I try to imagine the world for all those people who don’t know what Zim's been up to since the show went off the air and it makes me shudder. How can people live that way? Hopefully this comic helps make the world a better place.”
