Violence is an immature and infantile reaction
and impossible to a person of culture and maturity.
It is always symptomatic of a loss of control
and marks the end of human dignity and respect,
whether it be an overt act of aggression, destruction, stealing,
or a burst of anger or an impatient word or thought,
all arising from violence of either body or mind.
It also exhausts itself quickly and has no sustained power.
-Jean C. Cooper
Violence in all its forms
can only be upheld in the name of philosophies
which, whatever their denials, limit man's life to time.
-Joseph Chiari
