In Their Own Words
"To me the whole situation seems intolerable."
"Why don’t we simply accept the fact that differences always come up and concentrate on evolving some kind of machinery by which the differences may be recognized and some plan of compromise be worked out to satisfy, at least in part, all those concerned?"
"We can establish no real trust between nations until we acknowledge the power of love above all other power."
