We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

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

The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.

All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.

Force is the only language the imperialists can hear, and no country became free without some sort of violence.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.
