“I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. A riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. We can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. You can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. You can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. And what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.” MenWayFeelsTryingLongEndsSelfProblemNightHateCommunityJusticeViolenceBuildingCreatingMurderInjusticeMurdererRiotNon ViolenceInhumanityLong NightsInhumanity To Man Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.

She was writing about how women alone could bring peace to the world, that the men with all their greed and egos were creating all these tensions and violence. I always knew she was a feminist, ahead of her time.” MenWorldWritingYearsBookWarMotherFoundStudyViolenceWrittenHe ManEgoCreatingNotesGreedFeministTensionPakistanCleaningTrunksCleaning UpLahore Author:Vandana Shiva
“The State is a professional apparatus that sets itself apart from the people and apart from the institutions that the people themselves create. It's a monopoly on violence that manages and institutionalizes social activities. The people are perfectly capable of managing themselves and creating their own institutions.” PeopleStatesSocialViolenceActivityCreatingCapableInstitutionsManageMonopoly Author:Murray Bookchin
