Violence

• "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst." - Robert Heinlein
• "Violence stinks no matter which side of it you're on. But now and then there's nothing left to do but hit the other person over the head with a frying pan." - Tom Robbins , Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
• "Peace is a resistance to the terrible satisfactions of war." - Judith Butler, The Believer Magazine - Interview - Issue 2
• "...no matter what someone else has done, it still matters how we treat people. It matters to our humanity that we treat offenders according to standards that we recognize as just. Justice is not revenge - it's deciding for a solution that is oriented towards peace, peace being the harder but more human way of reacting to injury. That is the very basis of the idea of rights." - Judith Butler, The Believer Magazine - Interview - Issue 2
• "There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral" - Benito Mussolini
