Leymah Gbowee

"We are tired of war. We are tired of running. We are tired of begging for bulgur wheat. We are tired of our children being raped. We are now taking this stand, to secure the future of our children. Because we believe, as custodians of society, tomorrow our children will ask us, "Mama, what was your role during the crisis?" Leymah Gbowee, leader of Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace on April 23, 2003

 "Prizes do not mean anything to me...it is more important to make a child aware of the existence of a weird creature like a water spider that breathes through its backside."  Hayao Miyazaki
