“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.
“To break out of the chaos of my darkness Into a lucid day is all my will.

“It is customary for columnists to complain about the excesses of Premiership footballers, whenever - as happens regularly - there is an incident involving some combination of sex, drugs, drink, violence and the constabulary. But modern footballers have a lot of both money and disposable time, a combination that has proved a recipe for personal disaster throughout history. And these incidents take place generally round night clubs rather than football clubs. The average Premiership player who turned up for work drunk would have a career-expectancy measurable in minutes.” HappensNightSexCareersPlayerViolenceModernMinutesFootballDrinkDrugRoundsAverageClubsComplainingDisasterDrunkSoccerCombinationAnalysisExcessRecipesIncidentsInvolvingFootballerDisposableColumnistsExpectancyFootball ClubsNight ClubSex Drugs Author:Matthew Engel
“Once in a Cabinet we had to deal with the fact that there had been an outbreak of assaults on women at night. One minister suggested a curfew; women should stay home after dark.

“I survived this torture which left me paralyzed for years. That's what that night was all about, mutilation, more than violence through sex. I really do feel as though I was psychologically mutilated that night and now I'm trying to put the pieces back together again. Through love, not hatred. And through my music. My strength has been to open again, to life, and my victory is the fact that, despite it all, I kept alive my vulnerability.” FeelsTryingYearsHas BeensFactsTogetherNightLeftSexPiecesAliveViolenceVictoryHatredDespiteVulnerabilityTortureSurvivedBack TogetherParalyzedTogether AgainMutilationBack Together Again Author:Tori Amos

“For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. This is a slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.” MenKindChildrenBookDifferentHomeSchoolNightPoorViolenceColorShotsDestructionSkinsRelationInstitutionsWinterHungerIndifferenceHeatPoisonBombsDestructiveDecayInactionDifferent Colors Author:Robert Kennedy
“I was roommates with 2 of the guys who were influential in forming the Black Arts philosophy. I called them "goons," and [Amiri] Baraka took offense at that.

“American cops are the ones who are in the emergency rooms. They're the ones who go to the morgues. They're the ones who have to go tell the families that their son is not coming back, their husband, their wife, is not coming home that night. So when we talk about guns and gun violence and police, let's understand that as well. No one wants guns off the streets more than cops because cops are killed by those guns.” HomeNightWifeViolenceSonHusbandGunPoliceComing HomeCopEmergency Room Author:Don Winslow
