Violence Quotes

It is a sound interpretive rule... that anything that cannot be accomplished except with the aid of threats or the actual exercise of violence against unoffending persons cannot be beneficial to one and all Picture Quote #1

I would say that I’m a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you... because no one has the right to take the life of another human being Picture Quote #1

Dance with all the might of your body, and all the fire of your soul, in order that you may shake all melancholy out of your liver; and you need not restrain yourself with the apprehension that any lady will have the least fear that the violence of your movements will ever shake anything out of your brains Picture Quote #1

The stage play is a trial, not a deed of violence. The soul is opened, like the combination of a safe, by means of a word. You don’t require an acetylene torch Picture Quote #1

We will no longer be led only by that half of the population whose socialization, through toys, games, values and expectations, sanctions violence as the final assertion of manhood, synonymous with nationhood Picture Quote #1

I want to tell people that family violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are Picture Quote #1

Because war and preparations for war have acquired legitimacy, and because of the tremendous proliferation of arms through production and export, so that they are now available more or less to all and sundry, right down to handguns and stilettos, the cult of violence has by now so permeated relations between people that we are compelled to witness as well an increase in everyday violence Picture Quote #1

So many people around the world have used nonviolence as a way to resolve a conflict that they faced in their lives. And they continue to use it everywhere all over the world there. And I think, in a way, nonviolence is our nature. Violence is not really our nature. If violence was our nature, we wouldn’t need military academies and martial arts institutes to teach us how to kill and destroy people. We ought to have been born with those instincts. But the fact that we have to learn the art of killing means that it’s a learned experience. And we can always unlearn it Picture Quote #1

Wars aren’t stopped by fighting wars, any more than you can fight fire with fire. You fight fire with water. You fight violence with nonviolence Picture Quote #1

The future will be like the past, in the sense that, no matter how amazing or technologically advanced a society becomes, the basic human rhythm of petty malevolence, sordid moneygrubbing, and official violence, illuminated by occasional bursts of loyalty or desire or tenderness, will go on Picture Quote #1

It is my belief that in our mad world where there is so much pain, rivalry, hatred, violence, inequality, and oppression, it is people who are weak, rejected, marginalized, counted as useless, who can become a source of life and of salvation for us as individuals as well as for our world. And it is my hope that each one of you may experience the incredible gift of the friendship of people who are poor and weak, that you too, may receive life from them. For they call us to love, to communion, to compassion and to community Picture Quote #1

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. Fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. In order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life Picture Quote #1

Children are coming to school with trauma, everyday trauma, that they live under: violence in the homes, alcoholism in the community, unemployment thats 80 percent, not just during the recession. We need to help treat that before they can even go sit in a class and learn about math Picture Quote #1

Calling gender violence a women’s issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention Picture Quote #1

Women initiate most domestic violence, yet out of a thousand cases of domestic violence, maybe one is involving a man. And this has made a victim of culture out of women Picture Quote #1

My experiences with violence in schools still echo throughout my life but standing to face the problem has helped me in immeasurable ways Picture Quote #1

If we’re going to address trafficking in our country we have to address poverty, racism and gender based violence Picture Quote #1

Sometimes violence cannot be stopped no matter what we do. But the more peaceful we are, the better chance we have of bringing out the peace in those around us Picture Quote #1

Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite Picture Quote #1

Marijuana has killed far fewer people than swimming pools; it’s the war against it that does all the violence Picture Quote #1

It’s incredibly dangerous to leave an abuser, because the final step in the domestic violence pattern is: kill her Picture Quote #1

It’s sad, but a relief as well, to know that two things so closely bound together can separate with so little violence Picture Quote #1

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference toward the unique values which created it Picture Quote #1

Kindness is not an illusion and violence is not a rule. The true resting state of human affairs is not represented by a man hacking his neighbor into pieces with a machete. That is a sick aberration. No, the true state of human affairs is life as it ought to be lived Picture Quote #1

I’m a student of violence because I’m a student of the human heart Picture Quote #1

My position does not give me the liberty to exclude anything, but my mood tells me there will not be violence Picture Quote #1

Absolute hospitality would in no way amount to the absence of violence. To the contrary, it would enthrone violence precisely under the guise of nonviolence because it would leave the violators unchanged and the consequences of violence unremedied Picture Quote #1

We know violence isn’t the answer. When we take up our arms, we’re talking about our vote Picture Quote #1

Each of us must come to care about everyone else’s children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people’s children. After all, when one of our children needs lifesaving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. If one of our children is threatened or harmed by violence, someone else’s child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life for our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people’s children Picture Quote #1

Give peace a chance, yes, but why not get serious and give it a place in the curriculum: peace courses in every school, every grade, every nation. Unless we teach our children peace, someone else will teach them violence Picture Quote #1
