We don't want to give the authorities any excuse for violence.

Isa Gambar

He has a pretty good history of violence. It included things like carrying weapons, aggravated assaults. No one labeled him as a gang member, but he was part of something over there (in New Orleans).

John Bertolini

We disapprove of the suicide bombings. We are Christian and we don't want violence. We believe God said do not kill.

Nick Awad

Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.

Jim Morrison

We can all take responsibility for helping to bring about change, and keeping our friends and colleagues safe from domestic violence.

Charles Clarke

Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value.

Clueless

What the (U.S.) Supreme Court and the nation have noticed is that when you are trying to single out and protect people who have been targets of bullying and violence it's necessary to enumerate categories.

Rebecca Steele

We heard that some people decided to play football [next to one voting station]. We are grateful that people resorted to entertaining themselves rather than committing violence.

Brigalia Bam

The incident last week was the first true act of violence that I can ever remember. Vandalism. Graffiti. Those are the types off issues we have. ... Violence has not been a common problem.

Richard Blankenship

Gun violence is one of the leading causes of death for young black males in South-Central Los Angeles and across urban America.

Najee Ali

Banning handguns alone is not gong to stop the violence, but it's a big step.

Chris Daly

Instead of a man of peace and love, I have become a man of violence and revenge.

Hiawatha

Tons and tons and tons (of drugs and violence). I have friends who have been shot and who have been killed.

Demaundray Woolridge

The Iraqi elections is all anyone is talking about, certainly all eyes are on that, ... I think if we get past that with a minimum of violence and there is a clear winner, that could help the market on Monday.

Art Hogan

My character, Lola, is a psychopath who gets an almost sexual thrill out of violence.

Kate Nauta

We have a situation ... with the police facing attempted murder and police facing violence which is on a scale that we haven't seen for many years.

Peter Hain

When we're dealing with an issue that involves a school and violence, we're going to go in quickly because we're dealing with kids and their safety.

Dennis Gutierrez

On our part we have given our assurance there will be no act of violence by the L.T.T.E. against government forces.

Anton Balasingham

Who are these people that keep telling us lies and how did these people get control of our lives and who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control? Make 'em stop.

Burt Bacharach

We are very strict about this: We do not do any evangelism, we are not missionaries. Our interest is to bring an end to the violence and destruction of civilian life in Iraq.

Jessica Phillips

It was the same person re-offending, ... violence potential is going to grow and at one point or another someone is going to get killed.

Kevin Robinson

It's possible to disagree with someone about the ethics of non-violence without wanting to kick his face in.

Christopher Hampton

We read some of (Fox's) writings and sang a hymn that he had changed some of the words to a little bit to suit himself. At the end, it was quite obvious that (pastor) Father Vincent just threw away the homily that he had prepared for that Sunday and simply asked for an end to the violence.

Alan Slater

Finland has been a great supporter in the disarmament campaign. You have a remarkably low number of refugees and the number of cases of violence against women in Finland is extremely high for a European country.

Irene Khan

(Native people) are constructed as lesser members of Canadian society. Because some of these women are on the wrong side of the law, people rationalize violence and believe that these women get what they deserve, so the cops are inactive.

Robyn Bourgeois

The concern is that the protest will lead to violence, which will hinder the government's efforts to cut subsidies and the budget gap. That is weighing on the currency.

Osamu Takashima

Domestic violence is America's hidden war. And the battleground is in all our homes.

Michelle Bussolotti

This verdict is an outrage. It is an example of the immense difficulty faced by women all over the world when they seek justice in the face of violence and abuse.

Carmen Barroso

At a time when the Palestinian Authority is trying to maintain calm, this murder intentionally aims at renewing the vicious cycle of violence.

Mahmud Abbas

Certainly the violence in Iraq has been much lower than it might have been, because there's been a fair deal of restraint among Shiite leaders. And that might end now - they may feel the need to really go after the Sunni Arabs as a diversion.

David Mack

Prisons have always been desegregated, but had we made housing decisions based on a person's race? Yes. It's no secret that many instances of gang violence in prison are racially motivated.

Terry Thornton

This will be a major success for EU foreign policy if it can lead to a proper political dialogue on the causes which have led to some of the recent violence.

Gunnar Wiegand

There's a lot of remote-controlling going on. You have here all the people who don't want to expose their families to violence, kidnapping, bad schools, etc.

Joost Hiltermann

Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest of violence.

Francis Jeffrey

I am fascist, not racist. I do the Roman (fascist) salute to greet our supporters and those who share my ideas. This gesture is in no way an incitement to violence and even less about racial hatred.

Paolo Di Canio

Now Louisiana has been laid low by the violence of Mother Nature, ... We are grateful for your presence, and ask that you pray for our victims as well.

David Rabe

The internationally guaranteed right is the right to peaceful assembly, and OHCHR-Nepal has called for demonstrations and rallies to remain peaceful. Excessive restrictions on peaceful assembly at a time of legitimate political debate, however, carry the risk of contributing to violence.

Brian Martin

The definition of security must be broadened to encompass the security of people, as well as states. That means a commitment to human rights. That means recognizing that insecurity and violence are best tackled by effective, accountable states which uphold, not violate human rights.

Irene Khan

Thank goodness there's no violence reported. But the district is adamant: Kids should stay in school and not get it on their record that they're truant.

Dave Sheehan

We've seen tremendous growth in the parents. Only one mother's child was placed in foster care and not because of her developmental disabilities but because of (the parent's) mood disorders and domestic violence issues.

Barbara Powell

The need is critical here as it is pretty much everywhere. Domestic violence cases are on the rise. We serve 1,100 to 1,200 people a year ... in four counties in Arkansas and two in Texas.

Gayle Martin

The president is deeply concerned and he calls on Mr. Arafat and the Palestinians to take concrete measures to end the violence immediately.

Gordon Johndroe

It is so important to our children. It is important to make known that someone who wanted to make a difference made a difference. Without drugs or violence or gangs, Martin Luther King was a real-live person, a real role model that proves these dreams can be achieved.

Principal Judith Lassiter

Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.

Charlotte Bunch

There's 150 years of fear, violence and pain soaked into those walls, ... The overall mood there is one of despair, and filming there gives the show grit and authenticity.

Wentworth Miller

The trend has been good. The number of people killed and explosions decreased significantly during the ceasefire, but other violence, like abductions, increased.

Sudip Pathak

Intimidation by extreme rhetoric and the threat of physical violence threatens judges as well as the Constitution itself.

Louis Butler

Had Britain so insisted, Iraq after Saddam might have avoided the violence that may yet prove fatal to the entire enterprise.

Christopher Meyer

I can't remember any text of mine where I said that one should fight Hitler without violence; I'm not an idiot.

Adam Michnik

We all know that Sunnis don't like it, and that it's probably going to pass, so that's going to push us farther apart. I wish this process was given more time. Now I fear we're rushing to something that will breed more resentment, more violence.

Abdullah Mohammed

Of course men can attend! We encourage it. The Vagina Monologues are about raising awareness, celebrating women and envisioning a world without violence.

Lauren Gray

This amendment sends an important message that there is no place for hatred and violence in America.

Peter Sullivan

The Klan, like everyone else, can pick up garbage on the highway, ... They can't be penalized because they discriminate. Lots of groups discriminate. The Boy Scouts discriminate against gays. But when and if they [Ku Klux Klan] engage in criminal conduct or violence, the state should go after them.

David Cole

I think this constitution will worsen everything in the country and will increase violence. We think the citizens will reject it.

Saleh Mutlak

Some of the feedback I got was very violent. I had two girls come to my room. I had threats of violence messaged to me. People stopped me on my way to class. I was told my self-worth in about 20 words or less.

Lisa Smith

The madness of depression is the antithesis of violence. It is a storm indeed, but a storm of murk. Soon evident are the slowed-down responses, near paralysis, psychic energy throttled back close to zero. Ultimately, the body is affected and feels sapped, drained.

William Styron

Our goal is to influence peer culture so that we can prevent violence from happening in the first place.

Kathryn Xian

We are sending out a strong message of support and solidarity to survivors of rape and violence.

Carrie Shelver

Wrestling is ballet with violence.

Jesse Ventura

Sex, a lot of money, violence, ... I have to shatter those images when I'm out there -- there are no naked women behind me. All I can do is let them hear my lyrics, which help them see they care about themselves.

Harry Lapow

It's unfortunate that those that oppose the marriage amendment are using issues like domestic violence as scare tactics.

Victoria Cobb

We looked very hard to try to get a better set of data for a lot of indicators. And on violence against women, the only data we felt confident about was national. We couldn't get it for state-by-state.

Marcia Greenberger

The state is responsible for a resumption of violence because it rejected the Maoist truce that had raised some hopes for peace.

Amrit Bohara

No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.

Yitzhak Rabin

Forced marriages are a deviation from the respected practice of arranged marriages. The issue has remained hidden- as do many issues around abuse and domestic violence.

Meera Syal

There is many reasons that men could choose to attend: to be entertained, the show has parts that are enormously funny, to show their support for ending violence against women, to bond with female friends or girlfriends; to relax and learn a little about the funny, scary, bizarre and wondrous parts of the female experience.

Lauren Gray

When you have a near-riot situation, you really don't want people having guns. It has real potential for violence.

Mike Radovich

There's a lot of parents out there who wish they had their children who've been victims of violence, and I'm blessed to have Kai. I'm blessed she's here.

Tonya David

We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst.

Mark Whitaker

The Israeli army forces and tanks are still inside the Gaza Strip and resumption of mutual attacks and violence would of course inflict more fatalities on both sides.

Abu Khousa

The destruction of sacred sites and the killing of young police forces does not concern the American forces. The main problem facing Iraq is the presence of foreign occupants which has become a motive for Iraqis to resort to violence.

Hassan Rohani

The only option left is to continue our struggle in the National Assembly because we want to avoid violence and prevent confrontation.

Sam Rainsy

The bomb spurs jitters in the market, as people are already wary of violence in the country given the growing political tensions.

Somchai Anektaweepon

We're not suggesting that Mr. Roberts condones clinic violence.

Nancy Keenan

In prison, violence is like an active volcano -- it can erupt at any time. Violence can come from someone you hardly know, or even from someone who is very close to you. You can have a friend today, and tomorrow he can become your No. 1 enemy. It's crazy in here, ... Life in Prison.

Stanley Williams

If you don't go after the source, then we have no ability to stop the gun violence.

Warren Thompson

Police departments should have a zero-tolerance policy toward domestic violence. Officers and other violators should be treated as criminals just as they would in any other situation.

Lisa Holden

White people and black people were responding to the film even before the Oscar and now even more. It's because the film is about experiences of life. It's like mythology. It's a story of redemption, how a person responds, how a community acts towards violence.

Presley Chweneyagae

As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.

Charlotte Bunch

There's been a series of these in surrounding counties for four or five months, but never of this level of violence.

Vernon Keenan

Anything Ronald Reed wanted, Mr. Clark could back it up with words and actions. They preached violence against police officers. They preached the desirability of killing a police officer. Part of their motivation was to impress the national leadership of the Black Panthers in hopes they'd be awarded a chapter in St. Paul.

Jeff Paulsen

The violence hasn't stopped. There's always news of people getting killed or burned bodies being dumped on dirt roads.

Jose Ramirez

The writers wanted to address the perception that our neighborhoods are only about violence and drugs.

Abram Himelstein

Ninety-eight percent of American homes have TV sets, which means the people in the other 2% have to generate their own sex and violence.

Franklin P. Jones

What Stan hopes this accomplishes is that it further strengthens the message of his work. He didn't want a movie that glorified gang violence. He wanted a movie that accurately and fairly depicted his redemption and his message for kids.

Barbara Becnel

We've got to take baby steps until we can walk. We've got to ... bring these kids home because this has to stop. This violence has to stop.

Gary Jackson

Criminal organizations that are bringing drugs and violence into Texas, that's the target of this law enforcement tool. It doesn't at all weaken the process for requesting wiretap.

Rachael Novier

If I had a large amount of money I should found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily.

Stephen Fry

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Isaac Asimov

The level of penetration is worse than people realize. (Castro operatives) work within Miami's community, creating disinformation, inciting violence at peaceful exile protests to make us look bad in the press.

Jose Basulto

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.

Nicolas Gomez Davila

Time and time again, violence and the threat of violence has reaped dividends for the men of violence. The fear of IRA terror has resulted in the government granting item after item from the republican wish list.

Ian Paisley

It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily.

Martin Scorsese

Our insistence is that talks must be held as soon as possible. We also affirm that the violence must end, but that is not a precondition for the government to go for talks.

Palitha Kohona

This terrible thing that happened in my life was such a shock because I never saw any signs of violence or abuse in their marriage.

Thelma Soares

Propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship.

William Blum

This is a group with a public agenda of hate and violence toward other people. I don't think they're in anyway in consonance with Loyola's beliefs or, quite honestly, individuals or groups of good faith anywhere.

Mark Kelly

It's an interesting contradiction in which the violent world that we live in takes on the qualities of a dream world - in that it is almost entirely fictional in terms of the images that we consume, while the realities of the violence that does surround us tend to be excluded from media coverage.

Stephen Prince

Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.

Alan Brien

Swinging an ax against the door certainly involves violence, but it was not directly against a person, ... He made no threats.

William Sharp

We are all sickened by these continual random acts of violence that are sweeping our country.

Patrick Taylor

So yes, I think the threat of violence would save lives, innocent lives. I'm sorry to say its true.

Dr. Jerry Vlasak

One issue that the new pope should face is the problem on terrorism and the reasons for its being. I hope that the new pope may cause its downfall the way Pope John Paul II did with communism -- in a way that speaks with love, understanding and non-violence.

Fernando Flores

I don't want my son to die in vain. You see, all young black men are not involved in drugs, gangs and violence. I don't want my son's case to end up like his father's.

Vinnie Norvell

We are particularly worried about the health of the refugee population, domestic violence and refugees resorting to illegal employment or even to prostitution, just to put enough food on the table, ... When food becomes scarce, refugees often turn to desperate measures to feed themselves and their families.

Antonio Guterres

I know this stuff is pretty commonplace with these video games -- the violence, the sex -- but this part, the use of crucifixion, is obnoxious and, I would have to say it's willfully obnoxious.

Bill Donohue

But they would be unwise just to shoo the coalition out, because they cannot handle the army and the police areas on their own – it would give too much advantage to the people perpetrating violence.

Sir Jeremy Greenstock

I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.

Caleb Carr

We did not choose violence, but there is no other path.

Arnaldo Otegi

Our world is still darkened not only by the direct violence of civil wars, but also by innumerable other forms of violence.

Tadatoshi Akiba

We don't want violence. But if it happens, it will be caused by government officials and the government will lose.

Chamlong Srimuang

Anytime you have overcrowding, it leads to deterioration of facilities. Tensions can also rise and it can lead to violence. That's not good for inmates or staff.

Marty Durand

It's general policy to pursue domestic violence, whether or not the victim wants to prosecute.

Ron Ishoy

It's always tough to say whether things are worse now than they used to be. But I would say we're seeing more violence among the younger juveniles.

Lt. Santo Centamore

During the Balkan conflict, at least 20,000 Muslim girls and women were also raped, with teenage girls particularly targeted. In Myanmar, in Uganda, in East Timor, the bodies of women and girls were and are being violated as part of battle. This kind of violence is not collateral damage. It's a war crime.

Rima Salah

The Supreme Court of the nation has noticed that when you're trying to protect people who have been targets of bullying and violence, it is necessary to enumerate categories. The reason is so people are given notice, concretely, of what behavior they can and cannot do.

Becky Steele

I was so concerned that the violence I was seeing [in Vietnam] and [on television] back home was going to grow and grow. But because of the seeds of peace Dr. King and others planted then, we were able to maintain.

Michael Chambers

We were protesting black racial violence against white people in that neighborhood.

Bob White

We will continue to fight the scourge of terrorism against humanity and reject the culture of extremism and violence in any form or shape, from whatever source or place, regardless of justifications or motives, being fully aware of their dangers as a plague that threatens the peace and stability of the whole world.

Hosni Mubarak

Social services have always been difficult to run, especially when you're new. Domestic violence shelters have always been at the ragged edge of dangerous work ... and people are afraid of shelters.

Linda Healy

I would like to urge both parties to show maximum restraint, to desist from acts of violence, the use of force and cease all offensive operations.

Pieter Feith

We are growing weary of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's reluctance to establish any sort of policy against athlete violence.

Kathy Redmond

The government regrets very much ... which is the perpetrator of the violence, will have to take responsibility.

Bereket Simon

What the Maoists too should understand is that as long as they resort to violence they will play into the hands of the regime.

Minendra Rijal

It's a really good program, good people. They help people get back on their feet and back into the community ... pregnant mothers, families in crisis and transition, domestic violence victims.

Brian Lukas

I think we can get results from the child that don't damage the relationship, just like in domestic violence, hitting one another doesn't improve their relationship.

Martin Sauer

You may gain temporary appeasement by a policy of concession to violence, but you do not gain lasting peace that way.

Anthony Eden

Carefully executed act of violence.

Bernard Kouchner

Everything that we know about domestic violence is that it is about power and controlling people. That control manifests itself differently in every situation.

Mary Gianakis

A real man like me...I don't never attempt sexual violence on females.

Demar Rhome

We are hoping this time the Tigers will respond favorably and ease the violence that has reached unbearable levels in the north and east.

Palitha Kohona

The great thing about it is that he makes mistakes and screws up. Bond finds violence hard to take, he won't admit to that. He has to do two killings, one is very messy. He falls in love with a girl, genuinely falls in love.

Martin Campbell

Violence is not a respecter of persons and, just like everyone has human rights, every human can have their rights infringed upon. Every human has a right to be respected.

Derick Virgil

Dr. Hicks had a mission and her mission was to make sure all victims of sexual violence had the best medical care possible.

Karen Simmons

I knew the dangers of my chosen profession. I went to protect you, my family, and all Americans who cherish freedom. They sleep peacefully at night because brave men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. He never lost the attitude of a medic.

Patrick Brennan

But you don't see a lot of violence around here like they say. I think the station might be a sign of intimidation. The younger generation may see it as a sign of intimidation.

Ronald Smith

Massive black holes are usually known for violence and destruction.

Sergei Nayakshin

We've had no violence here. Let's keep it that way.

Bill Schwartz

It still does not fundamentally alter the deteriorating security situation in the country, given the rise in sectarian violence.

Ted Carpenter

The election process was incident-free with neither the district administration nor the police reporting any violence.

Alok Sinha

I am concerned that the drug cartels will further escalate the violence with the use of explosives.

Arvin West

I cannot guarantee that there will not be any violence in Baghdad during the elections, ... In fact, we should expect there will be.

Peter Chiarelli

Situation was fraught with possible violence.

Jill Dougherty

The war in Iraq has created this system that depends on violence and brutality to maintain control. So while the U.S. talks about spreading democracy, it is actually suppressing dissent around the world.

Sasha Wright

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptable. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.

Frank Herbert

There has been a constitutional coup in the republic. A small group of irresponsible plotters and carpet-baggers in a criminal way used force to capture power. An uncontrolled and destructive wave of anarchy and violence overwhelmed the capital and other cities.

Askar Akayev

Fundamentalism is not a phenomenon limited to religion. Any belief system can become intolerant and give rise to violence. Whether one likes it or not, humanity is 'wired' for myth. Mutual tolerance is the only way.

Michael King

From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.

R. D. Laing

It never even crossed my mind that he had a propensity toward violence.

Judd Burstein

Gang violence continues to grow every day in New Jersey, and it's time to take a new approach to solving the problem of gangs in our communities.

Ronald Rice

There is also a surging fear for marriage among young people. The frequently seen reports of divorce, extra-marital love affairs, cheating and domestic violence have warned us against making the choice.

Li Li

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by often falling.

Lucretius

We hope that the Secretary General's message was clear to the leaders that encouraging and maintaining violence is very serious... but I believe that the situation will change.

Pierre Schori

They were no help in Karachi (site of escalating violence) or with the bomb blasts. All I got from them were concocted stories of corruption. What is the purpose of intelligence, if they can't infiltrate terrorism?

Benazir Bhutto

I want to be very clear that we are not suggesting that Mr. Roberts condones or supports clinic violence. I know he said he finds bombing and murder abhorrent, but still, his ideological views of the law compelled him to go out of his way to argue in support of someone like Michael Bray who had already been convicted of a string of bombings.

Nancy Keenan

It's a happy occasion and, unlike most of the television we watch, there's no violence involved.

Dawn Fraser

The Danish government urges all leaders, political and religious, in the countries concerned to call on their populations to remain calm and refrain from violence.

Per Stig Moeller

Last week's violence was not about deprivation - it was about a failure to force a sectarian Orange march through a Catholic area.

Alex Maskey

The Western world must tell Mugabe to stop the orchestrated violence and abide by the rule of law.

Gibson Sibanda

The reason we have so much drug activity, violence and crime is because there are no jobs, ... There has got to be a change.

Charles Jackson

If you have two clerks, there's more of a temptation to resist, which could cause an escalation of the situation. And if it is a truly heinous act of violence, you just put more people at risk.

Jeff Lenard

Football is violence and cold weather and sex and college rye.

Roger Kahn

You're lucky I took me a vow of non-violence, or you'd be suffering some pain right now.

Mike Fink

PG-13 is just loaded with problematic violence, the kind that has been shown to have negative effects.

Theresa Webb

He (Walker) has been asked to meet Milosevic to raise concerns over the current level of violence in Kosovo and over the tit-for-tat nature of the violence.

Duncan Bullivant

There should be nothing scary in the oil inventories. It should show huge inventories or close to huge inventories. If you want to be scared about oil, you have to come up with something out of the Middle East or Africa, like the growing violence in Iraq.

David Kelly

It's a very big thing, but Pakistan also has to end violence. It's not just from one side. They have to stop hurling grenades and killing children and then ceasefire is to follow.

Mehbooba Mufti

Or will it take some cataclysmic act of violence on U.S. soil to finally awaken our gamesmen to the costs of global hegemony?

Pat Buchanan

I always knew that the violence would be something that would be probably be brought up, but actually it's nothing to do with the movie. The first two minutes are all about establishing fear, that something horrible is going to happen. It [the violence] was done really quickly, and it wasn't like pornography where you can like dwell over it, you know. It had to be done, we had to kill some people.

Paul Mcguigan

Over half of our numbers come from one night of violence. We had about six hours of civil unrest.

Bill Proffitt

We think (a boycott) would weaken Iraq because the only way that Iraq can recover is done by concentrating on the political process, writing the constitution and participating in it, ... Any act that calls for violence or boycotting would deviate the country from its course.

Laith Kubba

Yes to Peace, No to Violence.

Yitzhak Rabin

Violence is black children going to school for 12 years and receiving 6 years' worth of education.

Julian Bond

Like the furtive collectors of stolen art, we [cell biologists] are forced to be lonely admirers of spectacular architecture, exquisite symmetry, dramas of violence and death, mobility, self-sacrifice and, yes, rococo sex.

Lorraine Lee Cudmore

If you listen to his comedy ... it's serious stuff. There's war, there's racism, there's fights, there's violence, there's arguments. And then you find the joke in it.

Ali Leroi

It is extremely important for the government to take urgent measures to instruct its armed forces to cease acts of violence against civilians and the LTTE.

Anton Balasingham

A lot of things he's talking about, we're still talking about. The gap between rich and poor. War and conflict. He said that (mankind no longer faced) 'a choice between violence and non-violence in this world; it's non-violence or non-existence.' So it's pretty deep stuff.

Tyrone Brown

Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to the families affected by this tragedy. We are stunned by this senseless act of violence, which has taken a great man and friend of our family.

Mark Young

I began to see the character more as a metaphor for how a person survives and manages to maintain his innocence. I just love the bravery and elegance with which he faces the violence in the world.

Neil Jordan

That's how you work back from confrontation and violence.

Nigel Roberts

If 'The Godfather' gets an award, does that mean the academy endorses the Mafia or the violence associated with the Mafia? Does 'The Sopranos' in any way promote the violence that is such an integral part of the hoodlum's life? I don't see the connection.

Amir Harel

This was domestic violence, which can occur at any age.

Stephen Mccausland

The issue of violence has not gone away for our children. Eleven years later, our schools are still not safe.

Van White

We can help parents raise kids by adopting a uniform media rating system and banning marketing of violence to children.

Al From

Most everything we do at the sheriff's department is related to drugs, ... It's the reason for a lot of thefts, it causes family violence and it can lead to murder.

James Prince

These women are not politicians, but ordinary Iraqis who are desperate to see an end to the violence and are taking great personal risk to come to the US. It's a rare opportunity to hear from Iraqis themselves, and we hope that US officials will listen.

Medea Benjamin

Obviously it has to be (possible there is more violence), given what we faced earlier in the week.

Shane Castles

We believe if we can continue to provide some alternative to violence for these students, ... then they will be able to get back to work and they might, therefore, not be lured back to fighting.

J. Chris Toe

They really want to see something more obvious and tangible as they have been at the sharp end of IRA violence. The unionists want to see the melted-down guns.

Paul Dixon

Some people only think with their fists. Violence begets violence. It only stops when you make the decision to do something else.

Jose Pep Roa

ZANU-PF leaders seemed to sanction the use of violence and intimidation against political opponents and contributed significantly to the climate of fear so evident during the election campaign.

Pierre Schori

If there are no talks, with continued violence, we will see the government lose control of the north. I think the violence is a high-level LTTE decision to push the government toward war or talks where they will try to obtain concessions and seek international recognition and legitimacy.

Jehan Perera

This statistical manipulation of the vote amounts to a prize to those who advocate violence.

Leslie Manigat

Absolutely not, not to hurt anyone's feelings or not to make light of a criminal act of violence absolutely not.

Pat Boyd

Every householder's nightmare became a reality for the Monckton family. What followed was an appalling episode of violence.

Richard Horwell

Violence against women in the family is not a private matter and there is no justification for it. It is a human rights abuse which states are obliged to act against under international law.

Nicola Duckworth

It's not fit for humans to be living in those conditions. They turned the water off. People were going to the bathroom on the floor. Kids were going to the bathroom on the floor. You could smell it in the hallways, all over. There was a lot of violence taking place in there — stealing and drugs.

Linda Parker

Keep violence in the mind where it belongs.

Brian W. Aldiss

Today we are calling for reinstatement of the Violence Against Women Act.

Carolyn Maloney

I feel real strong that violence should be in (the statute). We need to give parents a tool to protect their children.

Rep. David Hogue
