RUSSELL-EINSTEIN HISTORIC DECLARATION AGAINST NUCLEAR WAR
Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein – Global Research, 12 Apr 2010

There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal as human beings to human beings: Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.
