It’s a funny thing when you think you’re dead. You’re not terrified of it anymore. There’s a sort of a epiphany to religious thing; it’s not sort of church-based, but you end up with a serenity which you didn’t have before, and I just simply enjoy it. It really does sound stupid, but I’ve got to tell you it’s made my life. (David Lange Quotes)

Our nuclear free status means that we decline to acquiesce in the strategies of nuclear deterrence. We will not turn a blind eye to them, and pretend that the weapons are no longer a threat. We will not in any way tolerate the testing of nuclear weapons, or their manufacture, or their deployment (David Lange Quotes)
Our nuclear free status is a statement of our belief that we and our fellow human beings can build the institutions which will one day allow us all to renounce the weapons of mass destruction.

We cannot by ourselves reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world, but we are doing what has to be done all over the world if those weapons are one day to be eliminated. We will not contemplate any circumstance in which their possession or threatened use is justified. We reject the secrecy and hypocrisy which surrounds the continuing refinement of the technology (David Lange Quotes)
