A second basic fact that characterizes nonviolence is that it does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent, but to win his friendship and understanding. ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, 1958
There have been periods of history in which episodes of terrible violence occurred but for which the word violence was never used.... Violence is shrouded in justifying myths that lend it moral legitimacy, and these myths for the most part kept people from recognizing the violence for what it was. The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of their act as violence; rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness. The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed. ~Gil Bailie

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times. ~Rita Rudner
Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at their computers. ~Author Unknown
If men were equally at risk from this condition - if they knew their bellies might swell as if they were suffering from end-stage cirrhosis, that they would have to go nearly a year without a stiff drink, a cigarette, or even an aspirin, that they would be subject to fainting spells and unable to fight their way onto commuter trains - then I am sure that pregnancy would be classified as a sexually transmitted disease and abortions would be no more controversial than emergency appendectomies. ~Barbara Ehrenreich If Michelangelo had been straight, the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered. ~Robin Tyler
Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee. ~Stephanie Piro
