Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate . . . Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
