"THE OLD LAW OF AN EYE FOR AN EYE LEAVES EVERYONE BLIND. IT IS WRONG BECAUSE IT SEEKS TO HUMILIATE THE OPPONENT RATHER THAN WIN HIS UNDERSTANDING. IT SEEKS TO ANNIHILATE RATHER THAN TO CONVERT. VIOLENCE IS IMMORAL BECAUSE IT THRIVES ON HATRED RATHER THAN LOVE. IT DESTROYS COMMUNITY AND MAKES BROTHERHOOD IMPOSSIBLE. IT LEAVES SOCIETY IN MONOLOGUE RATHER THAN DIALOGUE."
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING
