I regret very much to hear so many people, many of my own countrymen, predicting war, stating that Europe is preparing and arming for such a conflict.

It is not to be expected that human nature will change in a day.

France and Italy have not yet signed this treaty or agreed to naval limitation as between those nations, but I have confidence that in time they will do so.

Warned by the disaster of the last great war, the statesmen of all nations have been taking measures to prevent the return of another such calamity.

Adequate defense has been the catchword of every militarist for centuries.

There are but few naval powers, but there are many land powers.

Competition in armament, both land and naval, is not only a terrible burden upon the people, but I believe it to be one of the greatest menaces to the peace of the world.

There is no short and easy road, no magic cure for those ills which have afflicted mankind from the dawn of history.

Mathematics is the art of explanation.

It takes great courage to break with one's past history and stand alone.

You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.

It's a false illusion that we wake up thinking of who we are in terms of identity and that we are stuck in the boundaries of who we are nationalistically.

People are naive about such things, and they would rather write them off as evil than attempt to understand them. An unfortunate truth, but a truth nonetheless.

I don't know whether I am ever bored. I never look at myself.

What's wrong with the world and what can we do to change it?

Dance music makes us dance. Let us get off our couch and spin around!
