It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

Mahatma Gandhi

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

Mahatma Gandhi

The right things to do are those that keep our violence in abeyance; the wrong things are those that bring it to the fore.

Mary Mccarthy

Violence in the voice is often only the death rattle of reason in the throat.

H. G. Bohn

Violence is a calm that disturbs you.

Jean Genet

The cause of violence is not ignorance. It is self-interest. Only reverance can restrain violence - reverance for human life and the environment.

William Sloan Coffin

It is by no means self-evident that human beings are most real when most violently excited; violent physical passions do not in themselves differentiate men from each other, but rather tend to reduce them to the same state.

Thomas Elliot

Mercifully, he hit him with the soft end of the pistol.

Vivian Stanshall

Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.

Plutarch

You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.

Roman Polanski

First in violence, deepest in dirt, lawless, unlovely, ill-smelling, irreverent, new; an overgrown gawk of a - village, the "tough" among cities, a spectacle for the nation.

Lincoln Steffens

There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

Muhammad Ali

Violence is not funny.

William Friedkin

They can be cranky, bewildered, giddy, frustrated and sometimes moved to violence. In short, they are afflicted with the New York City Getaway Fever.

Lucinda Franks

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Mahatma Gandhi

Non-violence does not signify that man must not fight against the enemy, and by enemy is meant the evil which men do, not the human beings themselves.

Mahatma Gandhi

Affection cannot be manufactored or regulated by law. If one has no affection for a person or a system, one should be free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection, so long as he does not contemplate, promote, or incite to violence.

Mahatma Gandhi

I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.

Mahatma Gandhi

If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world...

Deepak Chopra

I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.

Malcolm X

If he's a guy with a violent history, he has shown a step towards violence, perhaps making the threat more credible.

Andrew Leipold

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

Albert Einstein

The time when domestic violence is the most lethal is when the person is trying to leave the situation.

Julie Johnston

I ask that we all come together as a community, that we work together to address the threat of gang violence, that I commit as mayor to work with the Police Commission that this matter is fully investigated and we call the facts as we see them.

Antonio Villaraigosa

We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.

Dewi Fortuna Anwar

To stop violence we have to stop poverty.

Frank O'gorman

A great deal of work to do ... to try and begin the healing process. It's the same throughout our country, where we have to bring this kind of hate-driven violence to an end.

John Fernandez

Domestic violence does not only happen to adults. Forty percent of girls age 14 to 17 report knowing someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend, and approximately one in five female high school students reports being physically and/or sexually abused by a dating partner.

Senator Dianne Feinstein

We learned at the time that all of the others have been caught or committed suicide. Brenda's is the only domestic violence (murder) that hasn't been solved.

Shelby Steen's

THIS is why democracy doesn't work! Too much talking leads to not enough violence!

Maritza Campos

Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak... Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.

Cesar Chavez

While many hackers have the knowledge, skills, and tools to attack computer systems, they generally lack the motivation to cause violence or severe economic or social harm.

Dorothy Denning

There was no religious component to the violence. All the violence was influenced by small groups of boys who were not moved by the blasphemy issue.

Kamila Hyat

We firmly support the rule of law and constitutional government. Violence should be avoided.

Janelle Hironimus

Violence within the family is a matter of power and lack of accountability.

Paul Greening

They are selling sex and violence in a culture awash in sex and violence, ... If the NHL wants to appeal to families, this isn't the way to do it.

Martha Burk

For many, last November's peaceful elections were a sign that after 14 years of unrest and violence, Liberia is back on the road to peace and stability.

Ron Redmond

He is being investigated for allegations of threatening violence, excessive use of force, possession of maybe an illegal weapon and violating the electoral process.

Assuman Mugenyi

These (homophobic) leaders give cover to violence already happening and give official support to the violence. They create an atmosphere of impunity.

Paula Ettelbrick

To join with this community and with the people in this country ... to help solve the problem of human violence against other human beings.

Dave Thomas

Domestic violence and sexual assault go hand in hand.

Georgia Taylor

It would be better for the ULFA to first shun the path of violence and then contest the Assembly poll and come to power.

Pramod Mahajan

There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.

Cesar Chavez

It's a community effort. We're trying to take a very negative subject and make it a positive one to show it's not wrong to talk about (domestic violence).

Cindy Winstead

We're number one in domestic violence homicides. We also have a high rate of alcohol abuse and drug abuse and there's a high lethality rate when you get those factors involved, so the shelter has 52 beds, certainly it is never empty.

Diana Burch

Living for Tomorrow: The Power of Individuals to Prevent Violence in Schools and Communitites.

Larry Bell

He was dramatically and desperately sincere in his renunciation of any political or social critique. Images of death, disaster and violence make news and mesmerize people, and that is what Warhol was interested in.

Francesco Bonami

Freedom is poetry, taking liberties with words, breaking the rules of normal speech, violating common sense. Freedom is violence.

Norman O. Brown

It's a clear message addressed to the journalists in order to [dissuade] them from criticizing the authorities. It's obvious that referring to terms like territorial integrity, religious hostility, violence, the [Uzbek] authorities mean that they are afraid [of] another riot or revolution.

Annabelle Arki

The T-shirt perpetuates prejudice and discrimination against people with mental illnesses through the intimation of threats flowing from auditory hallucinations. They reinforce an unfair perception of violence.

Ron Honberg

They see a lot of violent crime and a lot of gang violence – that's what I'm concerned about.

Michael Brunker

Violence, arrests, pressures, tailing and threats are the daily lot of the foreign correspondent.

Robert Menard

He has consistently opposed war and violence. He has worked for peace and to educate in particular young people about non-violence and the power of non-violence.

Chris Cole

Preliminary research-most of it published outside the medical literature-indicates that a significant number of our patients have experienced some form of violence and abuse during their lifetime, including elder abuse, child abuse, gang-related violence, sexual abuse, and domestic violence.

David Schneider

It's time that Gerry Adams free himself from the IRA. We cannot in Western countries have a political party that has its own private army, particularly one that's been associated with criminality and violence.

Ted Kennedy

Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the bread of repression and violence. They ask for the bread of liberty, of public equality, and public responsibility. It must not be denied them.

Mordecai Wyatt Johnson

These senseless acts of violence are being committed in a nefarious attempt to disrupt the even tempo of our lives and to upset India's unity and integrity.

Somnath Chatterjee

The first report we get is not always the first time a crime has been committed. And there are a lot of (domestic violence) cases that never make it to our office for prosecution.

Kristine Thornberry

If the violence in the Niger Delta subsides, the outcome of the presidential election in 2007 proves benign for political stability, and progress on structural reform continues, the ratings could improve.

Farouk Soussa

We are meeting here to put an end to this cycle [of violence], to put things back in order and to put the wheel of peace on the right track. The task is very great, but our hopes are greater.

Hosni Mubarak

There is also a surging fear of marriage among young people. The number of divorces, extra-marital affairs, cheating and domestic violence have warned us that marriage isn't easy.

Li Li

We're very early in this movement to address the most common form of violence there is for children, which is bullying, and hazing is a type of bullying. Hazing in children is caused by adults, through modeling hazing behavior and responding inadequately when it occurs. That creates hazing.

Stuart Green

I would suggest to the Palestinians to hold your horses, because we are much stronger than we were when we sat in Gaza. So if anyone has illusions that this means they can force Israel into making further concessions under pressure of violence, they're in for a big surprise.

Ranaan Gissin

It's horrible about the incident. Any violence against women should not be tolerated.

Mike Woodard

Rachel and Lilly loved Neil very much. Neil was a trusted husband and father and it is incomprehensible how that love and trust was betrayed in the ultimate act of violence. We are heartbroken at the loss to understand how this happened, but as our pastor, Father McKenzie reminded us just eight days ago, God didn't do this. There is evil among us.

Joe Flaherty

The essence of war is violence. Moderation in war is imbecility.

John Arbuthnot Fisher

The Vagina Monologues really shows what happens with women and violence and how it occurs in all communities, not just in the U.S. but world wide.

Karen Edwards

We need to make people aware of the violence that goes on, that can happen to anyone. Everything we do here is geared toward raising that awareness and toward making a difference.

Trish Kley

Bullying is a factor in many, if not all, incidents of school violence. If I hear of a shooting in a school, I can immediately describe the shooter because they are predominately white males, have access to guns, and they feel unconnected, left out, shut out.

Kathleen Brehony Ph

It's almost like a game, with various people playing king of the hill. These groups are structured very hierarchically, and each of them have certain reputations they like to maintain. It's very similar to inner-city gang members, minus the violence.

Darrell Smith

This is a neighborhood that has intense gang activity and alcohol-fueled violence.

Dana Stevens

This is outrageous. We demand the secretary of energy exercise responsibility over the act of violence and the continued expansion of coal plants in the country.

Red Constantino

One of the dilemmas domestic violence agencies have been facing for awhile is the fact that there are not enough beds.

Maggie Jones

Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.

Willie Mays

Domestic violence is a whole pattern of behavior. There are a whole lot of ways that it impacts the workplace, starting with absenteeism and lost productivity.

Laurie Fogelman

Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.

Daniel Barenboim

Refrain at all times from such Foods as cannot be procured without violence and oppression.

Thomas Tryon

What the community doesn't always know is that Advocates provides training for violence in the workplace, civil protection order assistance, outreach and education regarding issues of date rape drugs.

Diane Moore

It also stands to remind us that the million moms who march this coming Sunday for common sense gun laws, like handgun licensing and registration, that will increase our safety and prevent gun violence in our communities.

Donna Dees thomases

His government has been a fiasco. Under his leadership, there has been more kidnappings, rapes and violence against civilians, as well as repression against the masses.

Jean Robert Lafortune

There was no indication of any violence. They had been in for well over an hour when this man suddenly carried out this attack.

Alan Green

Criminal record and his lifestyle of knives, guns and violence.

Peter Arnell

There is no escape - we pay for the violence of our ancestors.

Frank Herbert

Mission accomplished, we didn't have any problems as far as violence goes.

Dr. Dre

Closing these two books, a reader senses that Joan Crawford, idol of an age, would have made an exemplary prison matron, possibly at Buchenwald. She had the requisite sadism, paranoia and taste for violence.

Harriet Van Horne

It is important to us to say to victims and survivors of gunshots and violence that we are trying to do something.

Shane Price

It's because I am a coward. At school, when there were fights, I'd run away. I have always been scared of physical violence. Perhaps that's the reason. But it also angers me to see gratuitous violence, wrapped up like chewing gum to be consumed. It's irritating; it's cynical.

Michael Haneke

He keeps hitting happily married couples but puts kids where they don't have to see the violence.

Ann Donahue

Some people were calling me un-American and all that. I know that I'm unified with our country. I feel and I know that my actions are as American as anyone else's. I'm trying to preserve the people's right to have some kind of oversight and some say in the cycle of violence that could occur if we go into war without an end in sight.

Barbara Lee

It's because we have made the government look really bad by the hunger strikes. And its only way to resolve differences with its own people is violence.

Gao Zhisheng

The level of violence is too public. This isn't just about squaring accounts. This is about gang warfare that clearly indicates problems for public control.

Federico Estevez

It was a domestic violence situation.

Angela Bozorth

In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.

Andrew Young

It's a disgrace that someone be honored who promoted violence against police officers.

Mark Donahue

Wellstone was expected to receive a lot of information (from the human-rights groups) about violence committed by the Colombian army, ... If he would be taking that back to the Senate floor, that actually helps the PR campaign of the rebels. It is a strain to think they would want to kill him.

Carlos Salinas

We were the only ones who held the keys, the only ones who could end the violence.

David Kaczynski

The driving force behind today's terrorist threat is Islamist fundamentalism. The struggle we are engaged in is, at root, ideological. During the last century a strain of Islamist thinking has developed which, like other totalitarianisms, such as Nazi-ism and Communism, offers its followers a form of redemption through violence.

David Cameron

Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence.

Pervez Musharraf

The meeting was about starting peace talks and stopping the violence.

Daya Master

So these kids are going to have notes on why George Bush is related to Hitler and why the state of Israel was founded on violence and terrorism. These kids are going to have notes on this and they're going to accept that as fact and I think that's what's mostly as fault here, is when kids start accepting radical political bias as fact.

Sean Allen

In fact PETA exists to fight the terrorism and violence inflicted on billions of animals annually in the meat, dairy, experimentation, tobacco, fur, leather, and circus industries.

Jeffrey Kerr

We are talking about material of the most serious and extreme kind: serious sexual violence, bestiality, necrophilia.

Paul Goggins

Just as citizens, ... we feel badly about the fact that there's been a rash of violence. . . . Clearly, that was not our intent in publishing what we thought was a solid news item.

Mark Whitaker

What we have seen yesterday is something I thought I would never see in Australia and perhaps we have not seen in Australia in any of our lifetimes. And that is a mass call to violence based on race.

Stepan Kerkyasharian

I'm not saying that Preval himself is involved, but there are elements around him, and in this country, that resort to violence in situations like these. I want to think we can have a peaceful contest, but I fear the worst.

Leslie Manigat

The scale of this massacre is very alarming and suggests that the strongest deterrent message must be sent to those who are inclined to perpetuate the cycle of violence that has shattered Kosovo in the last year.

Louise Arbour

The upcoming presidential elections can result in a new era for Haiti or sink the country into further poverty and violence.

Susan Lee

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Hunter S. Thompson

We have scraped together the $9,500 to keep the doors open until March 31. We need a miracle to save our domestic violence program, and in turn, save women and children.

Attorney Charles Garnati

All of these things, especially in a depressed person, contribute to suicidality and violence.

Peter Breggin

We abhor crime, abuse and violence against anyone, but under the current proposal do not support elevating one group as a protected class over another and support the concept of equal protection under the law for all.

Chris Ingram

Drugs, domestic violence and poverty, each one of these things is a burden to bear. Put together, these are unbelievably difficult challenges.

Sue Jacobs

We believe our son intended to help this poor woman, got her a hotel room for a night's rest and never anticipated the violence she was capable of.

Carmen Proviano

Who does not know that kings and rulers sprang from men who were ignorant of God, who assumed because of blind greed and intolerable presumption to make themselves masters of other men, their equals, by means of pride, violence, bad faith, murder, and almost every other kind of crime? Surely the devil drove them on.

Pope Gregory Vii

Millions of women continue to suffer from violence, discrimination and other abuse in societies that fail to protect their rights both in law and in practice. If the United States fails to take this treaty seriously, how can we expect the same from other countries with little respect for women's rights?

Jumana Musa

Look, this is not a movie for kids. It is a movie that does put that violence in context and it shows the idea of sacrifice, and it emphasizes -- in a way that I think a lot of people don't expect -- that this sacrifice, this death, this suffering was chosen by Jesus, at least according to the Gospels account.

Michael Medved

If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail.

Edward Koch

Innocence of heart and violence of feeling are necessary in any kind of superior achievement: The arts cannot exist without them.

Louise Bogan

The issue of violence against women was kept silent here for many years. But we're making people in Syria aware that this is something that happens everywhere in Europe, in Asia, in the United States, and this is opening up discussion.

Shirin Shukri

Education in the key to preventing the cycle of violence and hatred that marred the 20th century from repeating itself in the 21st century.

Elie Wiesel

It's important so if other organizations that are assisting people in domestic violence situations hear the argument, ?I don't want to leave my pet there,' they have an option. It makes the transition to leaving their abusive partner smoother ? and there's one less argument for staying. Everyone living in the household has an opportunity to escape unscathed.

Dani Bolda

We are grateful to him for the tireless and difficult work he carried out unstintingly against all forms of totalitarianism, violence, oppression and moral degradation, all in the name of the values of the Catholic Church, which are the supreme values of human dignity and solidarity.

Silvio Berlusconi

We have a common interest in confronting terror and violence and hate and crime that is committed in the name of any religion, and we want to isolate and marginalize those who would seek to kill innocents, ... And frankly, who better to do that than many of our American Muslims themselves, who have friends and family and groups in countries across our world?

Karen Hughes

We condemn the act of violence and we are really concerned with what happened yesterday and we hope that it won't disturb the agenda for next week's meeting of foreign ministers.

Dewi Fortuna Anwar

What's in play behind this violence is turf.

Julien Dray

Clearly disproportionate and can only breed more hatred and violence.

Gunnar Wiegand

In 'Vessel Works,' I am looking inward. In 'Lamp Totem,' I am looking outward and responding to the world I see. I look at time and technology, food, violence, and then at escaping the culture that we have created. They have an element of dark humor.

Mary Bailey

Wars such as that which has occurred in Iraq only allow hatred, violence and terror to proliferate.

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

In the majority of occasions, this may cause nothing more than minor irritations, but if have an intermingling which results in violence, then how do you separate the rival elements, and where do the rival elements then go in order to leave that situation? A lot of that depends on the ability of the stadium operators to manage.

Simon Inglis

A huge fallacy to suppose that one community is somehow more intrinsically prone to violence or outrage than any other.

Rowan Williams

The only way to stop the violence is to rescind the expulsion orders.

Noam Arnon

This ship brought vice, violence, protection and cash into Seattle.

Lorraine Mcconaghy

Rehnquist has been enormously influential in curbing, if not reversing, the Court's pro-criminal defendant rulings of the 1960s, in establishing state sovereignty decisions, and in questioning the scope of Congress's enumerated powers, for example, invalidating substantial portions of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act.

Dennis Hutchinson

[Seattle Mayor Paul Schell referred to the incident as] a senseless act of violence. ... horrible tragedy.

Norm Stamper

Violence has settled more issues in history than any other factor; and contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.

Robert A. Heinlein

Because it has become such a dangerous place, news organizations do rely on Iraqi staffers. These journalists get caught up in their own country's sectarian violence. Their presence has also created potential conflicts with the U.S. military, which has had a difficult and slow time accepting that Iraqis have been professional and objective journalists.

David Schlesinger

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.

Georges Bataille

The message to all extreme groups is very clear, we do not accept violence and our support for the (Macedonian) government is very clear.

Anna Lindh

To start war crimes investigations for the sake of justice at a time when northern Uganda sees the most promising signs for a negotiated settlement of the violence risks having in the end neither justice nor peace delivered.

Bryn Higgs

Would I be dumb enough to do something like that? ... I always think violence is the last means and the last resort. I never advocate violence.

Damon Dash

We insist on working within the framework of law and avoiding violence.

Bahaeddin Adab

The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will loose.

James Earl Jones

. . . first in myth, later in reality, passion and violence watered my root soil.

Roy Wilkins

The government needs to show both perpetrators and victims that violence against minorities will not be tolerated. Condemning ethnically motivated attacks for what they are, and bringing those responsible to justice are crucial.

Holly Cartner

She was tired in her body and soul of the indignities of being black in America. She was weary of the excuses and violence. She was sick and tired of racism.

Carter Heyward

It has had a history of non-violence for the last 50 years and these measures are like what we have seen in Uzbekistan where President (Islam) Karimov has been burning his political opponents alive.

Imran Waheed

We cannot get ourselves tied up with a party which has a record of violence against our cadres.

Hashim Siddiqui

The violence has not worked, ... If anything at all, it has backfired.

Masipula Sithole

The claim is that when they discovered a person was gay or transgender they panicked, and that somehow justifies their violence.

Geoff Kors

This [youth violence] is a very big issue facing youth today, and it's rising. We are the next generation, so we need to make a stand and make a move.

Sean Smith

I'm asking everyone to speak up. It is a silent killer and silence condones violence.

Rae Spence

Unlike movies, where you passively watch violence, in a video game you are the active participant and making decisions on who to stab, maim, burn or kill, ... As a result, these games serve as learning tools that have a dramatic impact on our children.

Leland Yee

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that rap music spurs violence.

John Norton

This murder once again shows that journalists pay a very high price to report in Iraq. It is absolutely appalling that insurgents use this kind of barbaric violence against people whose job is just to observe and report, and who just carry a notebook and pen.

Reporters Without Borders

All manifestations of religious intolerance, incitement, harassment or violence.

The Assembly

Any loss of life is regrettable, but we will simply not tolerate acts of violence against our multinational forces or innocent Haitians.

James Hill

But, I don't know, the violence, I can't even talk about. We don't do a lot of violent shows. When I started in television, breaking a pencil was a violent act.

Aaron Spelling

War is an attempt of one group to impose its will upon another group by armed violence.

Scott Nearing

It is reasonable to make people know that while they're visiting Florida they should take the right precautions to avoid potentially being victims of violence.

Peter Hamm

The tolerance of violence may be making a comeback. And when that happens, sexual violence will be tolerated.

Julia Heiman

Our advertising guidelines are such that Lowe's chooses not to advertise in controversial programming, including programming with gratuitous sex and violence.

Chris Ahearn

The evidence of recent violence ... indicates that the cycle of violence has not yet been broken.

Daan Everts

Many people found for the first time what it is like to totally dependent on themselves for protection. People put up signs that said 'Shotguns Inside' and that kept the gangs and violence away.

John Lott

It has to end. Our students need to feel safe in school, ... Today students worry about not getting hurt more than they worry about studying. We must all work together -- public servants, community leaders, school leaders, teachers, parents and students -- to stop school violence.

Joe Baca

There's a real connection between the misrepresentation of African Americans in popular culture and the violence that has been lodged against them, both physical and economic.

Susan Morris

Beneath all of this violence is a power contest. The north wants power back and the delta has also thrown its hat in the ring, so the third term campaign frustrates them both.

Pini Jason

Of course there have been some isolated incidents of violence masterminded by the opposition camp.

Benjamin Mkapa

Has not been convicted of drug offenses or (a) crime of violence.

Michael Mcguire

Resorting to violence and the use of force at holy sites is unacceptable, whatever the reason might be.

Ahmet Necdet Sezner

What we see is the president now dusting off every tired, old gun control bill that's been around his administration for the last six years -- waiting periods, one-gun-a-month schemes, imports or magazine bans, mandatory locks -- tired old schemes that will have no real impact on this criminal culture of violence in this country.

Wayne Lapierre

The specific concern that we had was about the employee going postal. The workplace violence was the issue.

Mark Flynn

She has since remarried and she's volunteering for a domestic-violence shelter herself now.

Doreen Marchione

Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.

Henri Nouwen

Only then, after the violence will drop down dramatically, then finally we can resume the peace talks about the constructive solutions, what to be done between the two people.

Avraham Burg

Andy Warhol understood early on that death and fame are the subjects that attract the most people. There is this tension in the exhibit that gives it a great strength. Warhol is someone who found an aesthetic in violence, but he also found real beauty in the shallowness of celebrity.

Francesco Bonami

Maya put it out there, ... She said 'I am not going to be ashamed of somebody else's act of violence.' The soldiers should be ashamed, not me.

Loung Ung

Acceptance of the charter won't open any magic doors, but it would demonstrate that the government won't be moved by violence. If it fails, it will be a setback.

Jonathan Lindley

Through their actions, their vision and their commitment to change the reality of domestic violence in America, our Connections Campaign partners are shining examples of leadership through advocacy. On behalf of the Hotline and the 1.5 million callers to the Hotline, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.

Sheryl Cates

In many of the domestic violence cases, the victim wants the case dismissed. Being a woman in this field helps me understand where victims are coming from. You have small children; you're dependent. You need someone to help you.

Lisa Eliason

[Patterson said he expected McDonnall to be transported from Iraq to the hospital on Wednesday.] We continue to find it amazing that people of a violent turn will take out people who are there purely on humanitarian aid grounds, and trying to help them, ... But that's the violence that's typical of our world now, unfortunately.

Paige Patterson

Armageddon is not around the corner. This is only what the people of violence want us to believe. The complexity and diversity of the world is the hope for the future.

Michael Palin

We regret the use of violence. There is freedom of expression in Congo, as guaranteed by the recently adopted constitution, and part of this is the right demonstrate.

Kemal Saiki

The fact that the Red Cross is also used in [videogames] which contain strong language and violence is also of concern to us in that they directly conflict with the basic humanitarian principles espoused by the Red Cross movement.

David Pratt

It arose that it would be difficult to claim that there was any call or encouragement or words of praise for violence against a human being. The ceremony involved turning to God to cause the death of a human.

Menachem Mazuz

It is our responsibility to teach them alternatives to violence, how to manage their anger, how to deal with conflict peacefully, the golden rule of treating others the way you want to be treated and to think before they act.

Jacqui Rivait

Overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children.

Daphne White

REPARTEE, n. Prudent insult in retort. Practiced by gentlemen with a constitutional aversion to violence, but a strong disposition to offend. In a war of words, the tactics of the North American Indian.

Ambrose Bierce

There is absolutely no substitute -- no substitute -- for a decisive fight against terror and violence. And on the Israeli side, it also means taking practical steps to ease the suffering of Palestinians living under occupation, to stop settlement activity and to renew a sense of dignity and hope.

William Burns

We were told that Jeffery had potential for violence. There is no indication here that there was any problem removing the children from the home and the parents were not arrested.

Chris Jones

Something is wrong here, and it's more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It's about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life.

Rob Reiner

We strongly condemn this continued Israeli escalation that will undermine the cessation of violence.

Saeb Erekat

But I think the opposite is true, that this most extreme act of violence was internalized in some way in this country. ... There was soul-searching, ostensibly, but in the end the assassination became a tool in our culture wars.

Yoram Peri

We got there ... and the guy who had helped us arrange it was assassinated the very morning while we were there on the set. So no matter how hard we try to cover the positive, the violence has a way of rearing its head.

Jake Tapper
