Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.

Violence does not necessarily take people by the throat and strangle them. Usually it demands no more than an ultimate allegiance from its subjects. They are required merely to become accomplices in its lies.

In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.

Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle.

Where an open war is impossible, oppression can continue quietly behind the scenes. Terrorism. Guerrilla warfare, violence, prisons, concentration camps. I ask you: Is this peace?

The true antipode of peace is violence. And those who want peace in the world should remove not only war from the world but also violence. If there is no open war but there is still violence, that is not peace.
