and shares our bed and eats at our own table.

~Ben Okri ~



It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
