Violent Resistance

Famous quotes containing the words violent and/or resistance:

    All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the “pathetic fallacy.”
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
