—Carly Cusack

It's what many people dream of and think of, yet why isn't it happening? We have made songs and signs and movies based upon this. The world is a good place already, but not good enough. If we were not to have any more wars, hate, bombings on this earth, we would not have people dying, getting hurt, or anything else. As a teen, I think about my life ahead of me. When I have children, I don't want them living in a world of hatred. The 21st century is a good time to start a world of love.

"Only Hearts" messages, like Carly's, are from thousands of students who participated in our peace project in Sarasota, Florida.

"Only Hearts" is being used by educators and students around the world and is recommended to teachers by the Lemelson Center at the Smithsonian. It highlights the beautifully articulated insights and thoughts about world peace and the intentions that students are setting to make this a reality.
