The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems. And I'm going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn't popular to talk about it in some circles today. I'm not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love, I'm talking about a strong, demanding love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
