“What should we do? We have no wish to interrupt the destroyer's work of saving lives... But war is war and the people being picked up out of the water are soldiers bound for the front; soldiers who are to shoot at our German brothers... The question whether we are to perish in despair or defiance, or survive all trails with a live conscience, depends wholly and solely on whether we believe in the forgiveness of sins. This 25th January was the turning point in my life, because it opened my eyes to the utter impossibility of a moral universe.” PeopleShouldBelieveWarEyeUniverseWishWaterSinMoralFrontsBrotherDependsDespairConscienceBoundsSoldierSavingTrailsImpossibilityDefianceJanuaryTurning PointsDestroyersSave A LifeForgiveness Of Sins Author:Martin Niemoller

“I shall not find a painting more beautiful because the artist has painted a hawthorn in the foreground, though I know of nothing more beautiful than the hawthorn, for I wish to remain sincere and because I know that the beauty of a painting does not depend on the things represented in it.

“However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive. When we are sick or very young or very old, we must depend on the support of others. There is no significant division between us and other people, because our basic natures are the same.

“... it is more than petty treason to the Republic, to call a free citizen a servant. The whole class of young women, whose bread depends upon their labour, are taught to believe that the most abject poverty is preferable to domestic service. Hundreds of half-naked girls work in the paper-mills, or in any other manufactory, for less than half the wages they would receive in service; but they think their equality is compromised by the latter, and nothing but the wish to obtain some particular article of finery will ever induce them to submit to it.” ThinkingBelieveWholeYoungGirlWishHalfClassPovertyTaughtParticularDependsCitizensPaperBreadNakedServantLatterLabourRepublicArticlesSubmitYoung WomenWagesPettyTreasonMills Author:Frances Trollope
“The vast majority of the peoples of the world are against war and against aggression. If they make their wishes known and effective, war can be stopped.
