“החזרת שנאה על שנאה מביאה להכפלת השנאה, ומוסיפה חושך ללילה שהיה מלכתחילה נטול כוכבים. חושך אינו יכול לגרש חושך; רק אור יכול לעשות זאת. שנאה אינה יכולה לגרש שנאה; רק אהבה יכולה לעשות זאת. השנאה מכפילה את השנאה, האלימות מכפילה את האלימות, והקשיחות מכפילה את הקשיחות, במערבולת של הרס. תגובת השרשרת של הרוע -- שנאה שמולידה שנאה, מלחמות שיוצרות יותר מלחמות -- חייבת להיקטע, או שנצלול אל תוך תהום חשוכה של כיליון.”

About Martin Luther King Jr.

American civil rights activist and Baptist minister

Martin Luther King Jr. was an American civil rights activist and Baptist minister, active in the United States from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. He became a central figure in the civil rights movement and is known for his leadership in the struggle against segregation and discrimination. King advanced civil rights through nonviolent action and, at times, civil disobedience. His public voice was shaped by opposition to Jim Crow laws and other forms of legalized discrimination that most often targeted African Americans.
