QUOTES
"we
are opposing the exploitation of man by man, similarly we must oppose the exploitation
of peoples by other peoples ... but today this is no longer enough ... we have
to assist the peoples fighting for their independence to develop their economies,
to increase their standard of living"
"The
ideas and principles of democracy should not be limited to politics, but must
pervade all areas of social life."
"Only
revolutions without bloodshed reach their goal.“
"We
must approach the questions of economic-cooperation and mutal assistance – in
short, questions of international solidarity – with that blend of idealism and
realism without which the great tasks before us can never really be accomplished."
"If
one wants peace between Israel and the Arab nations, then one must solve the Palestinian
problem."
I
have come to the conclusion that it is necessary, without hate and without design,
to intervene in the internal affairs of other states.“
"Whoever
has a relatively long life behind him and has traversed the heights and the depths,
knows that the fettered spirit always rises again. Let me close with the word
of promise which has inspired many of us all our lives: For they cannot kill the
spirit, brothers and sisters."
To
me the answer to the question of how to overcome the economic crisis is to be
found in a political solution. It can only consist of a large-scale international
action in which the industrialized world - being immensely rich - is prepared
to help build the infrastructures of the Third World on a continental scale in
a planned way in order to give employment to the people of these countries, to
create opportunities to develop their resources, by assisting them to increase
their agricultural output through enlarging irrigation facilities, by developing
their transport systems, by enabling them to use their energy reserves."
