Nixon did have a secret plan, and I knew that it involved making threats of nuclear war to North Vietnam.

My feelings of revulsion and foreboding about nuclear weapons had not changed an iota since 1945, and they have never left me. Since I was 14, the overriding objective of my life has been to prevent the occurrence of nuclear war.

Those of us who finally saw through the Vietnam war saw through this war, and all the actions that were necessary to end the Vietnam war will be necessary here. I think the American people will get us out of this (war).

In nuclear war all men are cremated equal.

I'm still bothered by the threat of nuclear war.

Mr. President [Richard Nixon], I love you, but you're wrong. (on the Vietnam War)
