"The third way open to oppressed people in their quest for freedom is the way of non-violent resistance. Like the synthesis in Hegelian philosophy, the principle of non-violent resistance seeks to reconcile the truths of two opposites -- the acquiescence and violence -- while avoiding the extremes and immoralities of both. The non-violent resister agrees with the person who acquiesces that one should not be physically aggressive toward his opponent; but he balances the equation by agreeing with the person of violence that evil must be resisted. He avoids the non-resistance of the former and the violent resistance of the latter." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929-01-15, d. 1968-04-04), Stride Toward Freedom, 1958 [but see other analysis of under what conditions nonviolent resistance works]
