“At the beginning of the Peace People movement, some of us started out to change Northern Ireland and the world. In the years since, I have come to believe that the real struggle starts in my own heart and in all our own hearts and that ‘inner change’ should be the first priority in life. Learning ‘to be still’ and peaceful is our daily work, a lifetime’s work, but it must be done. Otherwise, do we have anything to offer?”

 Mairead Corrigan Maguire, winner of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize
