Let no one consider themselves to be the 'armour' of God while planning and carrying out acts of violence and oppression!
Pope Francis

We all come from different levels, and I think every human has their own relationship to violence, athletic violence and fighting.
Jon Bernthal
Image
It is clear that the American people are weary of war. However, Assad gassing his own people is an issue of our national security, regional stability and global security.
Nancy Pelosi

A serious pacifist approach can't win wars against enemies whose only program is violence. That doesn't mean I think the US has fought terrorists so wisely most of the time since 9/11. But there are some enemies that need to be destroyed by force lest they destroy much much more.
Philip Gourevitch
Image
Our job as writers and thinkers in the time is how to bring about the occasions that let people have that first-person experience - or the metaphoric experience that allows them to see human continuity as opposed to total threat, total willingness to do violence.
Stanley Crouch
Image
The violence in the Old Testament and New Testament is descriptive. The violence in the Koran is for all time and it is prescriptive. And Mohammed said I have been made victorious through terror..

Alister E. McGrath

One hundred percent of the time, no plea bargain, no bail, you're going to the penitentiary - that will change the atmosphere in this culture of violence the president talks about.
Wayne LaPierre

I think the president's comfortable with a certain level of violence.
Wayne LaPierre

From a political perspective, it is important to uphold certain universal principles so that, for example, you can condemn both Islamist forms of violence and injustice as well as forms of violence and injustice from other groups - some superpowers, for example, or the English Defence League, as other examples.

I met soldiers coming back from war and I was impressed by their description of PTSD, all the symptoms: the outburst of violence, the impossibility to cope with reality anymore, all that stuff.
Alice Winocour

To replace the old paradigm of war with a new paradigm of waging peace, we must be pioneers who can push the boundaries of human understanding. We must be doctors who can cure the virus of violence. We must be soldiers of peace who can do more than preach to the choir. And we must be artists who will make the world our masterpiece.
Paul K. Chappell

Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence - as it saves most writers who live in 'interesting' oppressive times and are not afflicted by personal immunity.
Alice Walker
Image
Violence breeds violence. Acts of violence committed in justice or in affirmation of rights or in defense of peace do not end violence. They prepare and justify its continuation.
Wendell Berry
Image
We have become blind to the alternatives to violence.
Wendell Berry
Image
What leads to peace is not violence but peaceableness, which is not passivity, but an alert, informed, practiced, and active state of being.
Wendell Berry

Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.
Alice Walker

Violence is part of the resistance to occupation. The basic fact is not the violence the basic fact is the occupation. Violence is a symptom the occupation is the disease - a mortal disease for everybody concerned, the occupied and the occupiers.
Uri Avnery
Image
You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is.
Alice Cooper
Image
If anyone hits me, they can expect to be hit back, and harder. I never turn the other cheek because in my experience that doesn't work.
Alice Bag
Image
Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.
Ali MacGraw

For violence or fraud can create no right.
Algernon Sidney

I am no fun at all. In fact, I am anti-fun. Not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. I am not so much against fun - although I suppose I kind of am - as I am the opposite of fun. I suck the fun out of a room. Or perhaps I'm just a different kind of fun the kind that leaves on bereft of hope the kind of fun that ends in tears.
David Rakoff
Image
If we want world peace, we must break the vicious circle of violence and reprisal, of an eye for an eye, of endless hate.
Alfred-Maurice de Zayas
