More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us...no longer is the quest for disarmament a sign of weakness, (nor) the destruction of arms a dream - it is a practical matter of life or death. the risks inherent in disarmament pale in comparison to the risks inherent in an unlimited arms race.

The twentieth century had dispensed with the formal declaration of war and introduced the fifth column, sabotage, cold war, and war by proxy, but that was only the begining. summit meetings for disarmament pursued mutual understanding and a balance of power but were also held to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. the world of the war-or-peace alternative became a world in which war was peace and peace war.

There is no scientific antidote, only education. you've got to change the way people think. i am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . what i want to do is to disarm the mind. after that, everything else will automatically follow. the ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.
