*Nonviolence is anger transformed into creative work. This is why numbers do 
not matter in nonviolence the way they do with other kinds of force: there 
is enough anger in a single person - if controlled- to shake an empire!
- *Michael Nagler 

*People try non violence for a week, and when it doesn't "work" they go back 
to violence, which hasn't worked for centuries.
