The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.

We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure.

We have looked into the future and the future is ours.

However important the struggle is and however much misery and poverty and degradation exist, we know that it cannot be more important than one human life.

The only ones who make things change are fanatics. If you're not a fanatic around here, you can't cut it.

You know, if people are not pacifists, it's not their fault. It's because society puts them in that spot. You've got to change it. You don't just change a man - you've got to change his environment as you do it.

If you give yourself totally to the nonviolence struggle for peace and justice you also find that people give you their hearts and you will never go hungry and never be alone.
