Talk:Petra Kelly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This can go back in the article, when properly attributed, like the Dalai Lama blurb.
- untiring worker for a just and peaceful world
Anyone know who said it? --Ed Poor
I sem to recall reading an account that Kelly was the original author of the Four Pillars. Can anybody confirm or deny? Thanks.
The phrase "untiring worker..." is (without writer's name) at http://www.rightlivelihood.se/recipients.html
The Dalai Lama's quote is included in the Kelly's posthumous book "Thinking Green" (Parallax Press, Berkeley, California, 1994).
There is extensive information in the biography "The Life and Death of Petra Kelly", by Sara Parkin (Rivers Oram Press/Pandora).
The Four Pillars of green movement are mentioned in this last book. Kelly, as prominent green leader, was of course very active in the discussions when the four pillars appeared (around the green congress of January 1980), but this book does not say if they were her initiative or a team work maybe, I don't know. I suppose that probably other sources clarify this point.
