Why do we tolerate these men who use nuclear weapons to blackmail the entire human race? /Arundhati Roy

Another world is not only possible, ­she is on her way. Maybe many of us won’t be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen carefully, I can hear her breathing. /Arundhati Roy

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

Above all, remember your humanity. /Joseph Rotblat

More must be done in concrete terms in order to promote the cause of disarmament. /Alva Myrdal

I said earlier this year that we are sleepwalking towards disaster. In truth, it is worse than that we are asleep at the controls of a fast-moving aircraft. Unless we wake up and take control, the outcome is all too predictable. /Kofi Annan

Nobel was a genuine friend of peace. He even went so far as to believe that he had invented a tool of destruction, dynamite, which would make war so senseless that it would become impossible. He was wrong. /Alva Myrdal

Never Whisper in the Presence of Wrong. /Bernard Lown

It is essential to stop perceiving nuclear bombs as weapons. They are useless in serving any legitimate national purpose. They are not weapons, but instruments of genocide. /Bernard Lown

It always seems impossible until it´s done. /Nelson Mandela

Each step is a grain of sand, but we are shaping many grains of sand into a beach that will—one day—contain oceans of possibility. /Bernard Lown

The misconception that a victory can be worth its price, has in the nuclear age become a total illusion. /Alva Myrdal

It does not mean that there are not major countries that have not stayed outside the treaty, including our own -- the United States. But we believe that we will eventually get every nation in the world on board ... because we keep monitoring their activities ... and we keep the pressure on them every day. /Jody Williams

When you dream a dream alone, it´s just a dream; but when many have the same dream, it´s the beginning of reality. /Hélder Câmara

All mankind is now learning that these nuclear weapons can only serve to destroy, never become beneficial. /Alva Myrdal

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

Den som har kärnvapen är en stormakt, men kärnvapen får inte komma i händerna på en galning, för bara en galning kan vilja starta ett kärnvapenkrig. Man har dom bara för att andra har dom och att omvärlden ska tro att man är tillräckligt galen för att använda dom. Om omvärlden tror att man är tillräckligt galen för att använda kärnvapen, då hör man till dom största. Omvärlden får inte börja tro att man är klok, för då blir det väldigt farligt. /Eva Moberg

Here then is the problem which we present to you, stark and dreadful, and inescapable: Shall we put an end to the human race: or shall mankind renounce war? /The Russell- Einstein manifesto 1955
