Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

A song is no song 'til you sing it,

Wasn't put there to stay -
Love isn't love
'Til you give it away.
