“The very definition of news is something that hardly ever happens. If an incident is in the news, we shouldn't worry about it. It's when something is so common that its no longer news - car crashes, domestic violence - that we should worry.” IfsShouldHappensCommonWorryViolenceCarNewsDefinitionsCrashDomestic ViolenceIncidentsCar Crash Book:Bruce Schneier on Trust Set Source: Bruce Schneier on Trust Set
“Now, for the moment, we are safe. The only kind of international violence that worries most people in the developed countries is terrorism: from imminent heart attack to a bad case of hangnail in fifteen years flat. We are very lucky people--but we need to use the time we have been granted wisely, because total war is only sleeping. All the major states are still organized for war, and all that is needed for the world to slide back into a nuclear confrontation is a twist of the kaleidoscope that shifts international relations into a new pattern of rival alliances.” PeopleWorldNeedsYearsHeartKindHas BeensStillsWarCountryStatesMomentsUseSleepCasesWorryViolenceNeededLuckySafeMajorsRelationInternationalPatternsTerrorismNuclearGrantedOrganizedFlatsFifteenTwistsRivalsSlidesAlliancesConfrontationInternational RelationsTotal WarFifteen YearsHeart AttackKaleidoscopeDeveloped Country Author:Gwynne Dyer

“Two thirds of the work in the world is done by women. Women own 1 percent of the assets. Young women are sold into prostitution, forced labour, premature marriage, forced to have children they don't want or they can't support. They're abused, raped, beaten up. Domestic violence is supposed to be a cultural problem. They are the first victims of war, fundamentalism, conflict, recession. And young women who have access to education and health care and have resources think that everything was done, they don't have to worry.” ThinkingWorldWantFirstsChildrenTwoWarDoneProblemCareYoungWorrySupportViolenceConflictPercentResourcesThirdsVictimAccessSupposed To BeHealth CareLabourAssetsYoung WomenFundamentalismBeatenDomestic ViolenceProstitutionMen WomenRecessionsPrematureAccess To EducationVictims Of War Author:Isabel Allende
“I would hope that wherever I go I bring good news - that's what that word means, right? It began with the first followers of Jesus taking a Roman military propaganda term and co-opting it for their own subversive purposes, insisting that the world isn't made better through coercive military violence but through sacrificial love.

“Being a doctor, I worry that the patient may be uncomfortable about sharing something. It could be sexual dysfunction, an eating disorder, depression, domestic violence - these are serious topics many people don't want to talk about. I'll try to follow up with questions like: How are things at home? How's work? But we don't always have time to probe.
