Quote by Mary Lynn Bracht

“Nous plongeons dans l'océan comme nos mères et nos grand-mères et nos arrières-grand-mères l'ont fait avant nous depuis des centaines d'années. Ce don est notre fierté, car nous ne dépendons de personne, ni de nos pères, ni de nos époux, ni de nos grands frères, ni même des soldats japonais pendant la guerre.”

“World War Peace (The Sonnet) The same paradigm that produces soldiers, produces terrorists. In fact, soldiers are just government approved terrorists. Till the military is the most dishonorable profession on earth, you can forget about world peace, forget about peaceful coexistence. Military are the real terrorists, regular terrorists are the byproducts, all manufactured by state leaders, sponsored by jungle civilians. Love of country is the root of all war, Every patriot is a potential terrorist. Learn to love the world as one country, The paradigm will shift from war to peace.”

“There are big things to worry about and the issues like climate change, hunger, poverty, violence, biodiversity loss, unemployment, racism, and war are not going to be solved easily. But despite their grim predictions, I am hopeful. I am already seeing the light. A rustle of wind in the grass makes me dream.”

“Diagnosis: Patriotism (The Sonnet) You know what distinguishes a reformist from a terrorist! The capacity to destroy the world, yet choosing not to. The capacity to press the button, yet choosing not to. The capacity to pull the trigger, yet choosing not to. The capacity to oblige the state, but choosing humanity instead. The capacity to be patriotic, yet choosing to be human instead. War is the symptom, patriotism is the disease. Terrorists harbor patriotism, Reformists harbor peace.”

“And mind you, Hermine, even though such abusive articles cannot annoy me any longer, they often sadden me all the same. Two-thirds of my countrymen read this kind of newspaper, read things written in this tone every morning and every night, are every day worked up and admonished and incited, and robbed of their peace of mind and better feelings by them, and the end and aim of it all is to have the war over again, the next war that draws nearer and nearer, and it will be a good deal more horrible than the last. All that is perfectly clear and simple. Any one could comprehend it and reach the same conclusion after a moment's reflection. But nobody wants to. Nobody wants to avoid the next war, nobody wants to spare himself and his children the next holocaust if this be the cost. To reflect for one moment, to examine himself for a while and ask what share he has in the world's confusion and wickedness-look you, nobody wants to do that. And so there's no stopping it, and the next war is being pushed on with enthusiasm by thousands upon thousands day by day. It has paralysed me since I knew it, and brought me to despair. I have no country and no ideals left. All that comes to nothing but decorations for the gentlemen by whom the next slaughter is ushered in. There is no sense in thinking or saying or writing anything of human import, to bother one's head with thoughts of goodness for two or three men who do that, there are thousands of papers, periodicals, speeches, meetings in public and in private, that make the opposite their daily endeavor and succeed in it too.”
