Most people don't understand the power of nonviolence
and tend to be amazed by the whole idea.
Those who have been involved in bringing about change and
see the difference between violence and nonviolence
are firmly committed to a lifetime of nonviolence,
not because it is easy or because it is cowardly,
but because it is an effective and very powerful way.

-- César Chávez
