More From Dan Simmons

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.

Humanity looks upon jesus the nazarene as a poor-born who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. and he is pitied, for humanity believes he was crucified painfully. . . . and all that humanity offers to him is crying and wailing and lamentation. for centuries humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the savior. the nazarene was not weak! he was strong and is strong! but the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.
Jesus Strong Believe
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
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
A big business man was telling henry ford about a coach driver of super-expertness with his whip. the driver was telling how he could flick a fly off his horse's ear with his whip-and, a fly alighting just then, he promptly did so. next he spied a grasshopper beside the road, and he flicked it off with equal dexterity. a little further along the road the passenger noticed an insect on a bush, and nudged the driver to get him. not on your life, replied the master of the whip. that there insect is a hornet sitting on his nest with an organization behind him. i leave him alone.

I decided early in graduate school that i needed to do something about my moods. it quickly came down to a choice between seeing a psychiatrist or buying a horse. since almost everyone i knew was seeing a psychiatrist, and since i had an absolute belief that i should be able to handle my own problems, i naturally bought a horse.

We shall not attempt to give the reader an idea of that tetrahedron nose-that horse-shoe mouth-that small left eye over-shadowed by a red bushy brow, while the right eye disappeared entirely under an enormous wart-of those straggling teeth with breaches here and there like the battlements of a fortress-of that horny lip, over which one of those teeth projected like the tusk of an elephant-of that forked chin-and, above all, of the expression diffused over the whole-that mixture of malice, astonishment, and melancholy. let the reader, if he can, figure to himself this combination.
