Quotations regarding 'Violence'

Choose a letter: 
If the adjustment made by a court can be accepted or not, it will be refused whenever the men can gain more by continuing the strike, with whatever of violence that involves.
John Bates Clark, American Economist (1847-1938)
We don't have any rules about how we depict violence, or how much violence is in a movie. It's a calibration on a case-by-case basis.
Joel Coen, American Director (1954-  )
The cause of violence is not ignorance. It is self-interest. Only reverance can restrain violence - reverance for human life and the environment.
William Sloane Coffin, Jr., -
The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose.
Edward Coke, English Businessman (1552-1634)
For decades, the violence in the Middle East has claimed a multitude of innocent civilian victims: Men, women and children, Arab and Israeli.
John Conyers, American Politician (1929-  )
Once the violence has ceased, the US should immediately call on the World Bank and other international institutions to convene a donors conference to rebuild Lebanon's shattered infrastructure.
John Conyers, American Politician (1929-  )
Violence against judges and threats of violence against Judges is on the rise and it is no laughing matter. When leaders attempt to rationalize this violence, it only makes the problem worse.
John Conyers, American Politician (1929-  )
They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.
Alice Cooper, American Musician (1948-  )
You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is.
Alice Cooper, American Musician (1948-  )
It's not an anti-sex trip. Like, we're taking sex, which is probably another half of American entertainment, sex and violence, and we're projecting it, and we're saying this is the way everything is right now.
Alice Cooper, American Musician (1948-  )
The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.
Bill Cosby, American Comedian (1937-  )
You can't change the system through violence.
Alex Cox, British Director (1954-  )
No one will expect the British Government or the Government of India to give way to threats of violence, disorder and chaos; and, indeed, representatives of large sections of Indian opinion have expressly warned us that we must not do so.
Stafford Cripps, British Politician (1889-1952)
Well I don't think sex and violence have ever stopped a movie from being mainstream.
David Cronenberg, Canadian Director (1943-  )
The grand irony, however, is that Southern segregation was not brought to an end, nor redneck violence dramatically reduced, by violence.
Stanley Crouch, American Critic (1945-  )
Our job as writers and thinkers in the time is how to bring about the occasions that let people have that first-person experience - or the metaphoric experience that allows them to see human continuity as opposed to total threat, total willingness to do violence.
Stanley Crouch, American Critic (1945-  )
Our society has gotten to the point where we might soon become less and less shocked by any kind of violence.
Stanley Crouch, American Critic (1945-  )
It was to carry the American democratic journey beyond these failings that Black citizens and civil rights workers risked unemployment, violence and death.
Elijah Cummings, American Politician (1951-  )
We can't answer King's assassination with violence. That would be the worst tribute we could pay him.
Sammy Davis, Jr., American Entertainer (1925-1990)
Those most likely to be raped or sexually assaulted are young women between the ages of 16 and 24, women with their whole lives ahead of them. This one act of violence will alter their lives forever.
Rosa DeLauro, American Politician (1943-  )
