Violent Quotes

No, ordinary behaviour. The efficient half eats the less efficient half and grows stronger. War is just a violent way of doing what half the people do calmly in peacetime: using the other half for food, heat, machinery and sexual pleasure. Man is the pie that bakes and eats himself, and the recipe is separation Picture Quote #1

To resort to power one need not be violent, and to speak to conscience one need not be meek 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

If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim Picture Quote #1

The number of poor, and poorly prepared, students who succeed in college and beyond undercuts the simplistic notion that economic or educational disadvantage is an excuse for failure, violent behavior, or indulgence in drugs Picture Quote #1

No evolution is accomplished in nature without revolution. Periods of very slow changes are succeeded by periods of violent changes. Revolutions are as necessary for evolution as the slow changes which prepare them and succeed them Picture Quote #1

An organic farmer is the best peacemaker today, because there is more violence, more death, more destruction, more wars, through a violent industrial agricultural system. And to shift away from that into an agriculture of peace is what organic farming is doing Picture Quote #1

Dance is holy, sexual, and it’s a way of being very powerful and a little dangerous without being violent Picture Quote #1

Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don’t want that Picture Quote #1

The reason that I think it is a waste of time to engage in moral value judgements about people’s violence, is because it doesn’t advance by one iota our understanding of either the causes or the prevention of the violent behaviour Picture Quote #1

I am a man of vehement disposition, with violent enthusiasms, and extreme immoderation in all my passions Picture Quote #1

Typhoons are a sort of violent whirlwinds. Before these whirlwinds come on... there appears a heavy cloud to the northeast which is very black near the horizon, but toward the upper part is a dull reddish color. The tempest came with great violence, but after a while, the winds ceased all at once and a calm succeeded. This lasted... an hour, more or less, then the gales were turned around, blowing with great fury from the southwest Picture Quote #1

The secret prayer chamber is a bloody battleground. Here violent and decisive battles are fought out. Here the fate of souls for time and eternity is determined, in quietude and solitude Picture Quote #1

Even our recreation was scheduled. There was no time to look for birds or wander into the nearby woods. We were put into teams and sent into violent pursuit of a helpless ball Picture Quote #1

Geologists have usually had recourse for the explanation of these changes to the supposition of sundry violent and extraordinary catastrophes, cataclysms, or general revolutions having occurred in the physical state of the earth’s surface Picture Quote #1

There’s no way to escape the fact that we’ve grown up in a violent culture, we just can’t get away from it, it’s part of our heritage. I think part of it is that we’ve always felt somewhat helpless in the face of this vast continent. Helplessness is answered in many ways, but one of them is violence Picture Quote #1

I had a stalker who was extremely violent. He broke into the studio with knives and I was locked in a bathroom Picture Quote #1

That’s the job of the entertainer, to entertain, not to motivate or inspire people to get violent! Picture Quote #1

It is hard to look the other way when a dictator is being so cruel and violent with his own people Picture Quote #1

I was very interested in the relationship between the man who speaks and the woman who listens. I was drawn to the idea that the relationship between a man and a woman can be something like a war itself, very cruel and violent Picture Quote #1

Think about how much it costs to incarcerate someone. Do we want them just sitting in prison, lifting weights, becoming violent and thinking about the next crime? Or do we want them having a little purpose in life and learning a skill? Picture Quote #1

I strongly believe that for serious and violent criminals, we must absolutely hold them accountable for their crimes and send them to prison Picture Quote #1

Would we be so enamored with dystopian fiction if we lived in a culture where violent death was a major concern? It wouldn’t be escapism Picture Quote #1

All such men are, or ought to be, agreed, that simple governments are despotisms; and of all despotisms, a democracy, though the least durable, is the most violent Picture Quote #1

In violent and chaotic times such as these, our only chance for survival lies in creating our own little islands of sanity and order, in making little havens of our homes Picture Quote #1

I always tell people, anger is like liquid. It’s fluid, it’s like water. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container Picture Quote #1

We make violent cops, we make violent criminals, and no wonder we have shootouts in slums all of the time Picture Quote #1

The only defense against evil, violent people is good people who are more skilled at violence Picture Quote #1

So, those who hate, those who are violent in nature, live in a world of hate and fear and violence inside themselves, inside their minds, inside their awareness Picture Quote #1

Expression is not a matter of passion mirrored on the human face or revealed by a violent gesture. When I paint a picture, its every detail is expressive Picture Quote #1
