Darkness cannot drive out darkness; Only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; Only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate, Violence multiplies violence,
And toughness multiplies toughness In a descending spiral of destruction...
The chain reaction of evil, Hate begetting hate,
Wars producing more wars, Must be broken,
Or we shall be plunged into the darkness of annihilation.

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
