"Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforesation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where the individuals and nations are free." / Dalai Lama
