Quotations compiled by bunpeiris
Q.Do people respond when you appeal to them on the basis of atmosphere, good manners, good taste?
A I feel that this appeal of mine is finding a positive echo, but a very indirect one. here, as in every democracy, we witness all the aspirations, ambitions, battles & hunger for power. My position seems to be the one of a dreamer who mumbles something about ideals, completely untouched by real life, whereas politics takes a different course. But this is a very banal view. In reality it seems to me that my constant repetition of certain things planted seeds.
Vaclav Havel, Time, August 3, 1992
"A lover of my fellow creatures,a mere nameless worker for the cause-I aspire to be no more" End of the World News: Anthony Burgess
"What Mr.Toomy, do you seek out of life?" "To enjoy it. To fix the phenomena of human society in words" Earthly Powers: Anthony Burgess

"Let us forgive these guys"- Nelson Mandela
"The more you develop nonviolence in your own being, the moreinfectious it becomes: we must become the change we seek."

Quotations compiled by bunpeiris
A word to the terrorists, the mass murderers.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion. All others are entitled to their own opinions.
There's no room herein to mince words at all.
In the beginning there was the word. And this is the final word.
1. There is no way that you can create a just society by wounding people, maiming people, killing people.
Former IRA terrorist, the master bomber Shane Paul O'Doherty, renouncing violence
2. "When I was 16, nothing seemed so romantically self-sacrificial as a fight against the odds for an ideal. But I didn't realize that militaristic activities repudiated the democratic process and the will of the people."
Former IRA terrorist, the master bomber Shane Paul O'Doherty, renouncing violence
3. In my view, one of the principal lessons is that the end, no matter how noble and attractive it may seem, never justifies indiscriminate means.
The man who brought an end to the cold war, President Mikhail Gorbachev (Noble Prize for Peace in 1990)
4. My message would be that there are things worth fighting for. There always will be, just as there will always be people who think that there is nothing worth fighting or dying for.
A world in which brutality and lawlessness are allowed to go unchecked is not the kind of world we are going to want to live in.
Someone has to say, "This isn't right, you can't get away with doing this. And if you never stand up, more lives can be lost farther down the road."
Lt. Gen Walter Boomer, Commander of the U. S. Marine forces then camped in the Saudi Arabian desert in 1990
5. 1.7 million Cambodians were killed (1975-1979) by the terrorist Khmer Rouge Pol Pot. Nobody was there to save the innocent. Since China has allied with Cambodian government, USA had to turn the blind eye to the mass murderers of the killing fields. Today you have museum of human skulls, thousands in glass cupboards. We agree with the illustrious general.

6. You know what's wrong with the world today, Andy? People aren't true to any one philosophy. They pick and choose among all different ones.
They choose loyalty when it suits them
They choose change when it suits them
They do exactly as they please, and they can always find and justify what they're doing
They can make it seem like, no matter what, they're being true to some morality or other.
But you can't just pick little pieces of the package, Andy, You go with the whole program, or it doesn't mean a thing,
Like this business with Tommy Agro- supposedly he's got this certain set of rules, this code of honour. He lives by it until there's a crunch, then what happens? Uh-Oh, the rules just changed. Now it's survival, the law of the jungle, saving his own skin.
Well, okay that sounds fine too. Only, what happened to the first code? He hasn't just left it behind, he's damaged it. That's what people don't realize. You take this pick and choose attitude, you drain the life out of your own beliefs. After a while, what's left?
Mafia Captain Joseph "Pinney" Armone in a conversation with FBI Agent Andy Kurins
7. What the terrorists do: to correct one supposedly an injustice, bring about millions of forms of injustice; to bring about so called liberty, put millions into the prison of terror; to bring about so called freedom, bring misery and tragedy to millions. Are you the so called Liberator?
Pandia Lanka Light and Enlightenment
8. The country is exhausted from 30 years of war. We have not even built one kilometer of road; there are no schools, no clinics, no employment, no security. All leaders have to respond to the needs, pressures and anxieties of their own people. Our people now feel that armed struggle is no longer the road. So we could not lead them anymore if we still insisted on armed struggle
Rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola in 1995, having lost 500,000 humans
9. Time passes, and marathon runners get tired. This has been a very long race-too long. I feel I am a slave of the revolution
President Fidel Castro in 1993
10. Following this Castro, undid his military fatigue and for the first time, wore a three-piece suit and attended a Paris Fashion Show. Hail Castro!
11. At the core of the Greek belief system lies the conviction that there are unchanging absolutes in the world, ageless and immune from situation and interpretation, a small but vital body of knowledge that is largely agree-on and indisputable. It is this moral universe which Antigone called 'agrapta nomima' the unwritten laws
12. One of the most important things in the Torah is "Do not murder"
Baruch Goldstein, the gunman who killed 29 Muslim worshipers at the Hebron Mosque, in an antiwar essay he wrote at age 13 in Brooklyn , New York, U. S. A.
