Quote

That's all nonviolence is - organized love.

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.

Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

I was not an activist.

There has never been a time when I was not committed to, involved in, or caring of, the social and political issues of my world.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.

I never supported violence. Before the formation of TMC, I was a member of the Congress Party. Gandhi's Congress. Non-violence is a philosophy that runs deep.

The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
