“The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.”

“Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.”
