€The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X
€Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X

Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X

Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X

Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X
€Tactics based solely on morality can only succeed when you are dealing with basically moral people or a moral system. A man or system which opposes a man because of the color of his skin is not moral.”

Malcolm X
