I think war is so incredibly backward, and I don’t think it’s intelligent, and it’s not sane. So why would you want to support it?

Peace can only thrive when the climate is right. We remain open to bilateral dialogue with Pakistan on all outstanding issues in an environment free from terrorism and violence.

Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

I’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‚mother wit‘ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

My mother’s love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, her intelligence reflected in my daughters.

I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.

There are people who want to make men’s lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life; their Christianity, for instance.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.

Find enough clever things to say, and you’re a Prime Minister; write them down and you’re a Shakespeare.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.

Peace begins with a smile.

Terrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Islam. So people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorists.

I have never left another senator out to dry. Never.

I supported Donald Trump.

I want to support other women because of the opportunities I’ve had – and I’ve had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.

I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

You can’t say civilization don’t advance… in every war they kill you in a new way.

War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn’t surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.

The probability of apocalypse soon cannot be realistically estimated, but it is surely too high for any sane person to contemplate with equanimity.

Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life.

As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis‘ future.

I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.

Nothing good ever comes of violence.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.

War settles nothing.

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

I was not an anthropology student prior to the war. I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. The science of the Study of Man has been extremely satisfactory from that personal standpoint.

If you look at the movie ‚Belly,‘ I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I’m not in the game for the wrong reasons. I’m not in the game for the glory. I’m in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I’m a highly intelligent individual.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

It is not only the living who are killed in war.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help… Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There’s no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

Never elated when someone’s oppressed, never dejected when another one’s blessed.

The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.

I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

The narrow bandwidth of TV has made us think that we are stupider than we are.

They need help, and we have helped, and we are here to help. And we are helping, and we’re going to continue to help.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

The argument that resistance to the war should remain strictly nonviolent seems to me overwhelming.

War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.
