“War is the status quo, Peace is a political woe. Up the creek without a paddle, Better not rock those in the saddle, Lest you are branded a stately foe! If you still got the backbone, To tell right from the wrong. Grab the keys from savages, Trash all prehistoric baggages! Past tradition, stand just and strong.”

“You think conducting a bunch of phony peace conferences, completely disconnected from the soil, will solve everything! It won't! You know why? Because make-believe peacemaking is not the same as backbreaking peacemaking. To treat the pangs of this planet each civilian must stand up as peacemaker in their everyday life - each civilian must stand up as reformer - and not just any reformer. To reform this pest-infested planet only reformer won't do, what's needed is rowdy reformer. Rowdy Reformers by the hundreds, Rowdy Reformers by the thousands, that's what this world needs - not some backboneless, book-babbling intellectuals playing pretend peace with pretend intellect.”

“World leader, my eye! Hypocrites, every single one of them! They attend climate conference emitting more carbon than all their citizens combined. They attend peace conference with nuclear codes handy in a briefcase. And you want these two-timing morons to bring peace, health and harmony in the world! Keep dreaming - keep deluding yourself! I for one choose not to delegate the responsibility of my world to a bunch of windbags. The world is mine, its problems are mine.”
