Klaus Kinski Quote on Violence, Life, and Freedom

„Yes, I have violence within me, but not negative violence. When a tiger tears its trainer apart, people say the tiger is violent and shoot a bullet into its head. My violence is the violence of the free who refuse to submit. Creation is violent. Life is violent. Birth is a violent process. A storm, an earthquake are violent movements of nature. My violence is the violence of life. It is not violence against nature, like the violence of the state that sends your children to the slaughterhouse, stupefies your brains, and drives out your souls!“

"Young people are accused of using violence. But are we not in a perpetual state of violence? Because we were born and raised in prison, we no longer notice that we are stuck in a hole with our hands and feet chained and a gag in our mouths. What do you call a lawful state? A law that turns the vast majority of citizens into servile cattle in order to satisfy the unnatural needs of an insignificant and corrupt minority? And this law, supported by brute military force and the stupid cleverness of its agents, this law is eternal, brute force, contrary to justice and common sense, and I will fight against it with my mouth and my hands wherever I can." Karl Georg Büchner

"I’ve always abhorred violence and am highly sensitised to it. I do not think it benefits society or indeed any individual to become tolerant of violence… I feel if I can accept the abuse of these innocent, sentient creatures and my role in it then I could easily become apathetic about…well, everything, and that is a scary thought."

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue-and thoroughly immoral-doctrine that, 'violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedom." Robert A. Heinlein
