a walking oneman weapon proverb

 a walking one-man weapon of mass destruction that has done nothing in the last 10 years but flirt with violence, incite violence, carry out violence, justify violence and glorify violence, then you have to do what you have to do.
  Yasser Arafat

 Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.
  Jiddu Krishnamurti

 Toys that glorify violence encourage children to act out that violence -- violence which appears fun, cool and amusing,

 For years we have seen nationalists achieve what they want by violence and the threat of violence. In these circumstances, when frustrated and with no other option, we should not be surprised that some individuals resort to violence.

 This movie asks, when is violence ever justified? And it makes us wary of labels like terrorism. Obviously most people, unless they're Gandhi-like pacifists, can imagine some situation in which violence is a justifiable means to overcome injustice. It makes us realize that it's subjective; you have to agree with the cause in order to justify the violence.
  Natalie Portman

 I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence
  Malcolm X

 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.

 Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.

  Alexander Solzhenitsyn

 The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral; returning violence with violence only multiplies voilence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

 We condemn this attack and call upon all to make a maximum effort in order to maintain the truce and quiet. Violence will bring more violence, and what Israelis and Palestinians need today is more peace and not violence.

 We do not believe in rewarding violence, and an international presence will become a reward to the Palestinians' violence, ... We do not believe such a presence will reduce violence, and in a way might contribute to more excuses for the Palestinian side to complicate things.

 Violence is something that's very deliberately chosen - who sees it, the effect it has on the person watching, and the person performing the act of violence is more important than the violence itself. It's not about a gore-fest or how much blood you can show.

 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.

 [Israeli and Palestinian leaders blame each other for the continued violence.] Mr. Arafat is continuing his past policy of using violence against Israel and expecting at the same time of carrying on negotiations, mixing negotiations with violence, ... But he is going to be disappointed.
