QUOTES
"Every
war already carries within it the war which will answer it. Every war is answered
by a new war, until everything, everything is smashed. That is why I am wholeheartedly
for a radical end to this madness...Pacifism simply is not a matter of calm looking
on; it is work, hard work."
"I
am in the world to change the world."
"I
would like to exert influence in these times when human beings are so perplexed
and in need of help."
"One
day, a new idea will arise and there will be an end to all wars. I die convinced
of this. It will need much hard work, but it will be achieved."
"Where
do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved
ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon? I am afraid that this soaring
of the spirit will be followed by the blackest despair and dejection. The task
is to bear it not only during these few weeks, but for a long time - in dreary
November as well, and also when spring comes again, in March, the month of young
men who wanted to live and are dead."
Pacifism
simply is not a matter of calm looking on; it is work, hard work.
