Id hate to be in those [slum] conditions and Ill tell you if I were in — Violence

"Violence stinks no matter which side of it youre on. But now and then theres nothing left to do but hit the other person over the head with a frying pan."

"Peace is a resistance to the terrible satisfactions of war."

"We will never know whether there is a realistic moral alternative to violence unless we are willing to explore the potential of nonviolent action."

"Violence is the whole essence of authoritarianism, just as the repudiation of violence is the whole essence of anarchism."

"To place the responsibility of violence on the illiterate, poor and unemployed mobs is to completely miss the pathologies amongst us, the privileged and the powerful, which are the greatest enablers of violence."

"We have heard the tired cliché[,] that riots are the language of the unheard. But the reality is[,] that violence is the language of the unhinged."
