More From Friedrich Durrenmatt

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. a riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. we can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. you can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. you can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. and what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.
Hate Night Men
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. in fact, violence merely increases hate... darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Peace Kings Fear
A man convicted of murder is twenty times more likely than a woman convicted of murder to receive the death penalty. since the 1976 reinstatement of the death penalty, 120 men and only 1 woman have actually been executed. the woman, from north carolina, said she preferred to be executed. in north carolina, a man who commits second-degree murder receives a sentence on average of 12.6 years longer than a woman who commits second-degree murder.
Men Average Years
Men love death. in everything they make, they hollow out a central place for death, let its rancid smell contaminate every dimension of whatever still survives. men especially love murder. in art they celebrate it, and in life they commit it. they embrace murder as if life without it would be devoid of passion, meaning, and action, as if murder were solace, stilling their sobs as they mourn the emptiness and alienation of their lives.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. if he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.
Motivational Art Life And Love
Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory; odours, when sweet violets sicken, live within the sense they quicken. rose leaves, when the rose is dead, are heap'd for the belovèd's bed; and so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, love itself shall slumber on.
