"Violence is immoral because it thrives on
hatred
rather than
love
.
It destroys community and makes
brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in mono-
logue
rather than dialogue.
V
iolence ends up defeatin
g
itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality
in the destroyers."
Nobel Peace Prize Lecture
University of Oslo, Norway
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. | December 10th, 1964
