Quotes
//Translations in process. [|Corrections/suggestions welcome]//

En un sentido real, toda la vida está interrelacionada. Todos los hombres están atrapados en una red ineludible de mutualidad, atados en una sola prenda del destino. Lo que afecta a uno directamente, afecta a todos indirectamente. Nunca podré ser lo que debería ser hasta que seas lo que deberías ser, y nunca podrás ser lo que deberías ser hasta que yo sea lo que debería ser ... Esta es la estructura interrelacionada de la realidad. - [|Letter from Birmingham Jail]
 * In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be... This is the inter-related structure of reality.**

Spanish: La violencia es poco práctico porque es una espiral descendente que termina en la destrucción para todos. Es inmoral porque busca humillar al oponente en lugar de ganar su comprensión: busca aniquilar en lugar de convertir. La violencia es inmoral porque se nutre de odio en lugar de amor. Destruye la comunidad y hace hermandad imposible. Deja la sociedad en forma de monólogo en lugar de diálogo. La violencia termina derrotando a sí mismo. Crea amargura en los supervivientes y brutalidad en los destructores. (Nobel Lecture delivered at the University of Oslo, Dec. 11, 1964)
 * Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. **
