It is one thing to be able to state the price the antagonist paid, another to be able to count you own real gains.

Vengeance is not the point: change is.

Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.

This is the heart of my argument: We can put more pressure on the antagonist for whom we show human concern.

Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.

Of course it can be said of jails, too, that they try - by punishing the troublesome - to deter others. No doubt, in certain instances this deterrence actually works. But generally speaking it fails conspicuously.

Let me be really here, here in this place and this time where I am.
