Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence,
so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.
Violence does not mean emancipation from fear,
but discovering the means of combating the cause for fear.
The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice
of the highest type in order to be free from fear.
He reckons not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.
Whoever has not overcome all fear cannot practice nonviolence to perfection.
~ Mohandas K. Gandhi
