The struggle with evil by means of violence is the same as an attempt to stop a cloud, in order that there may be no rain.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

We're trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks. And it's the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn't just inevitable to have violence. Not just war - all forms of violence.

Far more violence has been done in obeying the law than in breaking the law.
