Thich Nhat HanhViolence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Dr. SeussHate crime is not new in the United States.

Barack ObamaI wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.
Dolly PartonEven the Soviet Union, with its huge nuclear arsenal, was a threat that could be deterred by the prospect of retaliation. But suicide bombers cannot be deterred. They can only be annihilated – preemptively and unilaterally, if necessary.
Thomas SowellIt 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.

Jiddu KrishnamurtiIn the ’70s, terrorism was much more serious, in that many more people got killed.
