Sir one more comment like that and I will strangle you with my microphone wire!

It is always a strain when people are being killed. I don’t think anybody has held this job who hasn’t felt personally responsible for those being killed.

Ignorant kindness may have the effect of cruelty; but to be angry with it as if it were direct cruelty would be an ignorant unkindness.

War is a contagion.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother… We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.

I’ll beat him so bad he’ll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

China is certainly an important player in the global economy, and a widespread AIDS epidemic would threaten that growth.

If we could just find out who’s in charge, we could kill him.

I exaggerate when I’m angry, but I’ve never gone around telling people things that aren’t true about me.

Hatred is something peculiar. You will always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of culture.

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument – learning to do your craft – that’s the most important thing! It’s not about what goes on in a computer!

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

Hatred is inveterate anger.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.

Terrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Islam. So people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorists.

Violence can succeed, as Americans know well from the conquest of the national territory. But at terrible cost. It can also provoke violence in response, and often does.

The violence in the Bible is appalling.

My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It’s psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I’m always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.

Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.

In Kosovo, the U.S. has chosen a course of action that escalates atrocities and violence. It is also a course of action that strikes a blow against the regime of international order, but which offers the weak at least some protection from predatory states.

We are looking for happiness and running after it in such a way that creates anger, fear and discrimination. So when you attend a retreat, you have a chance to look at the deep roots of this pollution of the collective energy that is unwholesome.

All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy.

There ought to be one day – just one – when there is open season on senators.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

War settles nothing.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

I think ‚Dirty Harry‘ was probably sensitive toward the victims of violent crime.

Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.

I went to an extreme for literary purposes because I felt all the self-help books out there were so gooey and Pollyanna-ish and nauseating. It was making me angry.

The role of the intellectual cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.

All the screen cowboys behaved like real gentlemen. They didn’t drink, they didn’t smoke. When they knocked the bad guy down, they always stood with their fists up, waiting for the heavy to get back on his feet. I decided I was going to drag the bad guy to his feet and keep hitting him.

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.

Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.

Obviously, there’s a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously. However, when it comes to protection, or when it comes to just the skill of shooting… I’ve gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that.

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

When Britain and the U.S. invaded Iraq, it was with the reasonable expectation that it was going to increase the threat of terror, as it has.

You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it.

The most violent show on TV is the six o’clock news.

The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship.

As capitalism falters, the rich move their money out of the country, violence increases, and politicians promising prosperity are elected.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. 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.

Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.

It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.

Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.

I hate violence, yes I do. It’s kind of a dilemma, huh?.
