✔ The need for world government was clear before August 6, 1945, but Hiroshima　(广岛) and Nagasaki　(长崎) raise that need to such dimensions that it can no longer be ignored. ~ Norman Cousins

✔ The new education must be less concerned with sophistication than compassion. It must recognize the hazards of tribalism. It must teach man the most difficult lesson of all—to look at someone anywhere in the world and be able to see the image of himself. The old emphasis upon superficial differences that separate peoples must give way to education for citizenship in the human community. ~ Norman Cousins

✔ With such an education and with such self-understanding, it is possible that some nation or people may come forward with the vital inspiration that men need no less than food. Leadership on this higher level does not require mountains of gold or thundering propaganda. It is concerned with human destiny. Human destiny is the issue. People will respond. ~ Norman Cousins
