So that's why I don't believe that there can ever be peace without justice, you know? The two go together. And there cannot be peace in the world with full-spectrum dominance or, you know, nuclear warfare or any of those things. They won't help, because always there will be people who demand dignity, who demand justice, who demand their rights.“ — Arundhati Roy „Israel will never get true security and safety through oppressing another people. A true peace can ultimately be built only on justice.“ — Desmond Tutu „We, the disinherited of this land, we who have been oppressed so long, are tired of going through the long night of captivity.

For when it comes to the pursuit of justice, we can afford neither complacency nor despair.“ — Barack Obama „The questions we face today -- how to promote equality and justice; how to uphold freedom and human rights; how to end conflict and sectarian war -- these things do not have easy answers. But there were no easy answers in front of that child born in World War I. Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. South Africa shows that is true. South Africa shows we can change, that we can choose a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. We can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity.“ — Barack Obama
