I'm concerned about justice. I'm concerned about brotherhood. I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about these, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that.-- Martin Luther King, Jr. (15 January 1929 - 4 April 1968), African American clergyman, civil rights activist, and Nobel laureate, address to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, 16 August 1967
