The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
That's all nonviolence is - organized love.
I have been true to the principles of nonviolence, developing a stronger and stronger aversion to the ideologies of both the far right and the far left and a deeper sense of rage and sorrow over the suffering they continue to produce all over the world.
The point of nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink. A platform which stands a few feet above napalm, torture, exploitation, poison gas, A and H bombs, the works. Give man a decent place to stand.
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
