Quotes by Pope John Paul II

Quotes by Paul Dini

Quotes by Paul Broun

Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Mya Hall, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland - these names are important. They're inherently important, and the space that #BlackLivesMatter held and continues to hold helped propel the conversation around the state-sanctioned violence they experienced.

Quotes by Owen Jones

The U.S.' refusal to acknowledge the plight of displaced Haitians and maintaining inhumane practices of neglect, disrespect, and violence amounts to a gross violation of human rights.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Trump's racism has clearly driven his policy decisions during his first year in office - from his Muslim ban and his despicable treatment of DREAMers to his ruthless ramp-up of immigration raids and the callous termination of protections for Haitians and Salvadorans who fled natural disaster and violence.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Violence can be very grotesque and also intensely attractive. What interests me is how the two - beauty and violence - live side by side, and how moments can be created and erased almost simultaneously. Destruction is painful, but at times it can be very cathartic.

Quotes by Ori Gersht

The violence associated with the A.N.C. is minimal, infinitesimal next to the violence of the apartheid regime.

If apartheid is removed, then the violence that is necessary to maintain it will be removed along with the pressures from apartheid which create a violent response.

Quotes by Oliver Tambo

For decades, we resisted violence - until Sharpeville.

Quotes by Oliver Tambo

How do you deal with a criminal that will not listen to what you have to say and who continues his policy of violence? Some say you continue to talk and let him tire himself out.

Quotes by Norman Jewison

We are a country of excess. So it's not the violence, per se, but the exacerbation and constant repetition.

Quotes by Norman Lear

Quotes by Nolan Bushnell

You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it.

Quotes by Noam Chomsky

Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.

Quotes by Nigel Farage

I do show violence as entertainment. Clearly, I'd be a liar if I said I didn't.

Quotes by Nick Love

Violence is inevitable in crime novels, but there are many different ways to tell a story. I use my characters' reactions to illustrate the worst moments rather than let readers witness them at first hand.

Quotes by Michael Robotham

I'm very critical of crime novels that use gratuitous violence to shock readers when it isn't necessary. If that's all you have to offer as a writer, perhaps you're in the wrong job.

Quotes by Michael Mandelbaum

Both Iraq and Syria are a fissile mixture of ethnicities and religions thrown together after Versailles by departing French and British imperialists and only kept together by Baathist tyranny and violence.

Quotes by Michael Ignatieff

Personally, I can't stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there's 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don't know why those directors aren't asked why they're such specialists for violence.

Quotes by Michael Haneke

I don't like gratuitous violence. I don't like the 'Saw' movies. I don't like the 'Hostel' movies. I don't like anything that is violence for violence's sake.

Quotes by Michael Biehn

My moral compass swings far to the left, but when it comes to gratuitous violence, I have trouble.

Quotes by Michael Biehn

Yes, violence begets more violence, but historically this has been the way of the world.

Quotes by Meshell Ndegeocello

Quotes by Mehdi Hasan

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.

Quotes by Max Stirner
