“You can’t get the blood out.”

“That is what death is like. It doesn’t matter what uniforms the soldiers are wearing. It doesn’t matter how good the weapons are. I thought if everyone could see what I saw, we would never have war anymore.”

“Doctor Who: You want weapons? We’re in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!(from Tooth and Claw in Season 2)”

“…But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.”

“We need wisdom more than weapons. The more wisdom we have, the lesser the weapons we need.”

“Insane weapons from insane minds!When will we stop destroying things, and obliterating each other?We are supposed to be intelligent people, human beings, if we could be called that.People should be ashamed of what we have become.If we want to play GOD, why don’t we do something constructive instead of destructive?What is pretty in a waste land?What is satisfying about seeing women, children & old frail people dying and suffering?What sense is contaminating crops so people starve, and die of malnutrition?If that doesn’t make sense to you, imagine your children dying in front of you.Not a pretty thought, is it?So, why don’t we do something about it instead of standing around doing nothing?For once, we need to be united as one.Religions standing with other religions.Different cultures, and races working towards a common ground.People united as never before.You say, “It can’t be done!”I say it can!It just needs you to stand up and believe that the world, and everything & everybody in it is worth fighting for!I do!”
