“I must continue by faith or i t is too great a burden to bear and violence\, even in self-defense\, creat es more problems than it solves. Only a refusal to hate or kill can put an end to the chain of violence in the world and lead us toward a community wh ere men can live together without fear. Our goal is to create a beloved com munity and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”
