“I myself would go for nonviolence if it was consistent, if everybody was going to be nonviolent all the time. I'd say, okay, let's get with it, we'll all be nonviolent. But I don't go along with any kind of nonviolence unless everybody's going to be nonviolent. If they make the Ku Klux Klan nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. If they make the White Citizens Council nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. But as long as you've got somebody else not being nonviolent, I don't want anybody coming to me talking any nonviolent talk.” IfsWantKindLongWhiteTalkingViolenceCitizensOkayConsistentNonviolenceCouncilKu Klux Klan Author:Malcolm X

“I've discovered that I can't trust the ratings board at all, because they have - to my mind - a perverted point of view about what's appropriate for children. They think that if you see any part of a male or female anatomy, we have to protect children from it, which is not true, and they think almost any level of violence is okay for children, which is absolutely not true... They're really off the mark.” IfsThinkingMindChildrenI CanLevelsViewsViolenceProtectFemaleOkayMarkMalesPoint Of ViewBoardsAppropriateRatingAnatomyProtecting Children Author:William H. Macy
“If you're young and inexperienced you might accept what people tell you, that everything's going to be fine, it's okay. It's usually other young people saying that, who don't know any better. It's good to have a survival instinct because increasingly, especially in the whole Arab Spring sort of violence, you're mostly with young people who have not experienced what they're doing before.” PeopleAcceptingViolenceSurvivalSpringOkayInstinct Author:Jon Lee Anderson
