| "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.
You
may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish
the truth. You may murder the hater, but you do not murder
hate, nor establish love. 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.
