"The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun."

"The most important thing about Spaceship Earth - an instruction book didn't come with it."

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly."

"War is the ultimate tool of politics."

"We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody."
