Ooh, just discovered another Gandhi one which is officially now my favourite of his:

'Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.'

"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent."
~Mahatma Gandhi, Non-Violence in Peace and War

"I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.
But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment, forgiveness adorns a soldier. But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish, it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature. A mouse hardly forgives cat when it allows itself to be torn to pieces by her. … I do not believe myself to be a helpless creature. Only I want to use India's and my strength for better purpose.
Let me not be misunderstood. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
~Mahatma Gandhi, The Doctrine of the Sword

I noticed this one too. It's interesting how contradictory people can be, and how people well known for pacifism often have said stuff promoting violence, or vice versa. I think the point that he was making though, as indicated by other statements he made throughout his career, was that being non violent out of impotence is not virtuous and doesn't help anything. In other words, he was stressing the importance of real action, wether violent or not, and thus declaring that virtuous violence is better than non-virtuous or cowardly peace. At least, this is my interpretation.

Indeed. The age-old adage "If you want peace, prepare for war" rings true in that a peace that's favourable to you can only be achieved if you're willing (and able) to fight to attain and maintain it, and fight we are willing to do given our rebellious nature.

“To want nothing. Just to wait, until there is nothing left to wait for. Just to wander, and to sleep. To let yourself be carried along by the crowds, and the streets. To follow the gutters, the fences, the water’s edge. To walk the length of the embankments, to hug the walls. To waste your time. To have no projects, to feel no impatience. To be without desire, or resentment, or revolt.”

-Georges Perec, from, 'A Man Asleep'

This might seem to be a bit nerdy, but I always Remind myself of this quote whenever I question why this world is so broken?

"and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” -Gandolf from Fellowship of the Ring

My favorite quotes are the ones i make up on the fly whenever i make air quotes with my fingers.

They're usually made at the expense of someone's feelings or to make my ideas sound more plausible by making the other person sound like a putz.

Those. Those are my favorite.

“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

"For children, love is a feeling. They find out if their love is true by waiting to see how long it lasts. For adults, love is a choice. They make their love true by never faltering in their commitment." ~ Wandering Saint, Pathfinder (Orson Scott Card)
