"I cannot imagine any writer who would not fight for his peace and quiet." ― Wislawa Szymborska Topic(s): Peace More From Wislawa Szymborska "After every war someone has to tidy up." "Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation." "Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation." More In Peace "We must all make peace so that we can all live in peace."― Jean-Bertrand Aristide "Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace."― Herodotus "This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharmaceutical industry and the business community that certain actions now should be undertaken with increased urgency and at an accelerated pace."― Margaret Chan
