Internet Nonviolence.
The Internet already changed the world. Now, use it to inspire conversation nonviolently and change the world again.
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
—Mahatma Gandhi
That's all nonviolence is—organized love.
—Joan Baez
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
—Thomas A. Edison
Non-violence can truly flourish when the world is free of poverty, hunger, discrimination, exclusion, intolerance and hatred—when women and men can realize their highest potential and live a secure and fulfilling life. Until then, each and every one of us would have to contribute—collectively and individually—to build peace through non-violence.
—Anwarul Chowdhury
A liberation movement that is nonviolent sets the oppressor free as well as the oppressed.
—Barbara Deming
We demand a non-violent world where human security is the basis of our common global security. People have the right to live in a world where the basic needs of all peoples are addressed.
—Shirin Ebadi
Nonviolence is something very powerful, and the power behind it is not weapons, but the support of the people.
—Arun Gandhi
All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life.
—Jean Goss
The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally.
—Thich Nhat Hanh
We have an historic opportunity for a great global healing and renewal. If we will accept the challenge of nonviolent activism with faith, courage, and determination, we can bring this great vision of a world united in peace and harmony from a distant ideal into glowing reality.
—Coretta Scott King
When we are violent to our enemies, we do violence to ourselves. When we brutalize others, we brutalize ourselves. And eventually we run the risk of becoming our oppressors.
—Arundhati Roy
