Conflict

The next revolution - World War III - will be waged inside your head. It will be a guerrilla information war fought not in the sky or on the streets, not in the forests or even around the scarce resources of the earth, but in newspapers and magazines, on the radio, TV and in "cyberspace". It will be a dirty, no-holds-barred propaganda war of competing worldviews and alternative visions of the future - Marshall McLuhan, Culture is our Business, 1970

It's sometimes almost worth having a brutal argument with someone to taste the joys of reconciliation - Alain de Botton

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 not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, 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 cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron - Dwight Eisenhower

Conflicts will diminish as our global, universal, spiritual, and cosmic awareness increase. By far the greatest contribution to peace an individual can make is to become a global, universal, and cosmic being - Robert Muller, A Planet of Hope, 1986

Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than to tell them you're hurt - Alanis Morissette

We live quite unperturbed by the death of 14,000 humans every hour. We live happily even with the firm knowledge that we will die. Why then should we find it so difficult to live in a world of conflict and trouble? - Robert Muller

War does not determine who is right, war determines who is left - Anonymous

There are potentially another 10 Afghanistans in Africa, and it is cheaper by a factor of 100 to prevent the fires from happening than to put them out - Bono
