I haven't seen anything else that was said with such eloquence and
accuracy. Here is an extract:
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you can not murder the lies nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. In fact,
violence merely increases the hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
--Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.
