"The most
violent element in
society is
ignorance."

"The world is filled with
violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens
should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people
will lose."
[James Earl Jones] |

"Those who make
peaceful
revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
[John Fitzgerald Kennedy] |

"The
question is no longer between violence and non-violence; it is between
non-violence and non-existence."

"Violence
or the threat of violence [must] never be permitted to influence the
actions or judgments of the university community. Once it does, the
community, almost by definition, ceases to be a university. It is for
this reason that from time immemorial expulsion has been the primary
instrument of university discipline."
[Richard Milhouse]

"Men make
the mistake of
thinking that
because
women can't
see the sense in
violence, they must
be passive
creatures. It's just
not true. In one
important way, at
least, men are the
passive sex. Given a
choice, they will
always opt for the
status quo. They
hate
change of any
kind, and they fight
against it
constantly. On the
other hand, what
women
want is
stability, which
when you stop to
think about it is a
very different
animal."
[Eric Lustbader] |

"Violence
is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word,
when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because
there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name
of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle,
much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence."
[peace_peace Jiddu Krishnamurti] |

"Children will watch
anything, and when a broadcaster uses crime and violence and other
shoddy devices to monopolize a child's attention, it's worse than taking
candy from a baby. It is taking precious
time from the process of
growing up."
[Newton N. Minow]

"We
fear violence less
than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more
terrifying than what anyone else can inflict."
[Jim Morrison]
