“The Dutch at close proximity looked much like Americans, apart from their peculiar uniforms, and so it was their uniforms I fired at, half convinced that I was killing, not human beings, but enemy costumes, which had borne their contents here from a distant land; and if some living man suffered for his enslavement to the uniform, or was penetrated by the bullets aimed at it well, that was unavoidable, and the fault couldn't be placed at my feet. The private charade was not equivalent to Courage, but it enabled a Callousness that served a similar purpose.” IfsMenHumansWellsPurposeHuman BeingsHalfEnemyFeetLandFaultsKillingConvincedPeculiarUniformsBulletsCostumesDutchEnslavementProximityCallousnessCharades Author:Robert Charles Wilson

“Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.” IfsShouldMeanDoeArtHandsOrderCausesLosesWealthViolenceSacrificeLandDyingTypeHighestTrainingCapacityKillingNonviolenceDiscoveringNon ViolenceEmancipation Author:Mahatma Gandhi
