More From Donna Leon

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.
Fear Thinking Animal
I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.
Mother Children School
No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. in short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.
Men Libertarian Violence
All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
Compassion Hatred Violence
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 would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though i have greatly enjoyed some of the work of ursula leguin. i haven't read much science fiction so i don't know other sci-fi authors.

You listen to your favorite song just until you're almost getting sick of it, and then it's so fun to rediscover it after a couple of months.
Song Couple Fun
Frequently, i go straight into the studio and see what's around. i might hire a couple of instruments that i've never used - maybe a particular type of electronic organ or an echo unit. then i just dabble with sounds until something starts to happen that suggests a texture. the texture suggests some kind of mood, and the mood suggests some kind of lyric. that's like working in reverse, often quite the other way around, from sound to song. although often they stop before they get to the song stage.
Song Couple Kind
It was a good thing to have a couple of thousand people all rigid and frozen together, in the palm of one's hand.
Couple Hands People
By our heavenly father and only because of god, only because of god. we're like other couples. we do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as i call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. but a marriage is three of us.
