Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.” ~ Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) Leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India
