Writers for Peace

Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice.
     —Spinoza

Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.
     —Mahatma Gandhi

One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.
     —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
