"The state represents violence in a concentrated
and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence
to which it owes its very existence." --Mahatma
Mohandas K. Gandhi
"No man is an iland, intire
of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod bee washed away
by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or
of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send
to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee...." John Donne
