"Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation...it is not the unloved who initiate dissatisfaction, but those who cannot love because they only love themselves." - Paolo Friere
