“Give me a pen, I'll give you peace (Sonnet) One pen can defeat a thousand guns, that's why books get banned, not guns. There's nothing more dangerous than books that radicalize you against war. When you take away fear from the citizens, you take away their initiative for war. And when citizens no longer conform to war, that's the biggest threat to political power. You cannot ask citizens to pay for the bombs, if they believe more in peace than paranoia. Stupid taxpayers are the biggest sponsors of war, patriotism is genocide, military is massacre. I have zero tolerance for any civilian, politician or scholar who takes pride in the military - go back to the jungle, because that's where you belong, with the rest of your animal society.”

“How can we begin to experiment outside the status quo? How can we learn to see companionship itself as both home and wealth? How can we take more of the world into our daily consideration and care for people we may never know? How can we live with joy and humor in the face of crises, without shying away or diminishing others? What if we get everyone together and get a good feeling between us? How about we work out anything and everything that lies unexpressed?”
