Text Quotes
Where do these arms come from, these Saturday night specials that constitute the instrument of threats in bank robberies, or the hand grenades used by terrorists? How can their sales and their import be permitted?  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) I have always regarded global development as a struggle between the forces of good and evil. Not to be simplified as a struggle between Jesus and Satan, since I do not consider that the process is restricted to our own sphere of culture  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The economic and political roots of the conflicts are too strong for us to pretend to create a lasting state of harmonious understanding between men  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) A great amount has been talked and written about what constitutes a sufficient balance and what really is meant by the concepts of “balance” and “deterrence”  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) We can hope that men will understand that the interest of all are the same, that hope lies in cooperation. We can then perhaps keep PEACE  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) More must be done in concrete terms in order to promote the cause of disarmament  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) My personal philosophy of life is one of ethics  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) War and preparations for war have acquired a kind of legitimacy  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) It’s not worthy o human beings to give up  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The smaller nations can in fact exercise greater influence on disarmament negotiations than they have hitherto done  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) It is of the greatest importance that people and governments in many more countries than ours should realize that it is more dangerous to have access to nuclear arms than not to possess them  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) If only the authorities could be made to realize that the forces leading them on in the armament race are just insane  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) Though it is fairly easy to describe what constitutes a bad home, there is no simple definition of a good one. Conformity with the traditional pattern certainly is no guarantee of the happiest results  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) Our immediate striving must be aimed at preventing what, in the present situation, is the greatest threat to the very survival of mankind, the nuclear threat  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) Because war and preparations for war have acquired legitimacy, and because of the tremendous proliferation of arms through production and export, so that they are now available more or less to all and sundry, right down to handguns and stilettos, the cult of violence has by now so permeated relations between people that we are compelled to witness as well an increase in everyday violence  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The age in which we live can only be characterized as one of barbarism. Our civilization is in the process not only of being militarized, but also being brutalized  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) I have, despite all disillusionment, never, never allowed myself to feel like giving up. This is my message today; it is not worthy of a human being to give up  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) War is murder. And the military preparations now being made for a potential major confrontation are aimed at collective murder. In a nuclear age the victims would be numbered by the millions. This naked truth must be faced  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) There is a cultural factor promoting violence which nowadays undoubtedly is highly effective is the mass media. And particularly everything that enters our minds through pictorial media  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The misconception that a victory can be worth its price, has in the nuclear age become a total illusion  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) Many countries persecute their own citizens and intern them in prisons or concentration camps. Oppression is becoming more and more a part of the systems  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) First and foremost arms are tools in the service of rival nations, pointing at the possibility of a future war  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) All mankind is now learning that these nuclear weapons can only serve to destroy, never become beneficial  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The longing for peace is rooted in the hearts of all men. But the striving, which at present has become so insistent, cannot lay claim to such an ambition as leading the way to eternal peace, or solving all disputes among nations  (Alva Myrdal Quotes) The inventions and the great discoveries have opened up whole continents to reciprocal communication and interchange, provided we are willing  (Alva Myrdal Quotes)
