I am not built for academic writings. Action is my domain.

Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.

Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.

Art to be art must soothe.

Nonviolent action without the co-operation of the heart and the head cannot produce the intended result.
