I'm concerned about a better world. I'm concerned about justice; I'm concerned about brotherhood; I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence.

Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
