"It is my intention to make my entire life a rejection of and protest
against the crimes and injustices of war and political tyranny which
threaten to destroy the whole human race and the world with it. By my
monastic life and vows I am saying NO to all the concentration camps,
the aerial bombardments, the staged political trials, the judicial
murders, the racial injustices, the economic tyrannies, and the whole
socioeconomic apparatus which seems geared for nothing but global
destruction in spite of all its fair words in favor of peace."
--Thomas Merton, from "Honorable Reader"
