QUOTES

We all have choices. We can build walls or we can build bridges. We can give our talents to creating weapons of annihilation, as so many scientists have done, or we can work to find solutions to humanities greatest problems. Our orientation is found not only in our acts, but also in the policies we support or oppose.

Each of us matters. The world is created by the sum of our actions or inactions.

Hope is a catalyst for change that gives birth to dreams and to action.

Hope is not enough to change the world, to bring peace, to end starvation and poverty, to provide a decent education for all children, or to prevent nuclear holocaust. Yet it is a critical starting point for building a better and brighter future. All of us are challenged to connect hope to action until we have created a might river that will carve a new path to the future.

It is late, but it is not too late. America may still wake up, and if it does it will be because people like all of us have not given up on America or on a human future. It will be because ordinary Americans do not have the courage-deficit that our leaders have so readily and consistently displayed. It will be because the voices of the people rise up and demand change and because we become the leaders we have been waiting for.

During World War II, the Nazis put their victims into gas chambers and then incinerated them in ovens. While the Nazis took their victims to the incinerators, those who possess and threaten to use nuclear weapons plan to take these weapons — these portable incinerators — to the victims.
