“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”

“To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.”

“It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

“Let them call me a rebel and I welcome it; I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of demons should I make a whore of my soul.”

“We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”

“How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?”

“Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.”

“In reality there is no such thing as ‘eradicating’ evil.”
