Martin Luther King Jr.: Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only love can do that. Hate cannot drive…
Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only love can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Hatred paralyses life, love releases it. Hatred confuses life, love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life, love illuminates it. I have decided to stick with love. Hatred is too great a burden to bear.
