On violence

As the news about Rep. Gabrielle Giffords unfolds, several quotes are worth contemplating again:
"The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it." -- Bill Cosby

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -- Isaac Asimov

"Who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe." -- John Milton (Paradise Lost)

"Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary." -- Gandhi
