memorable quotes from 'gandhi' (1982)
movie quotes:
Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
They may break my bones, torture my body, even kill me, then they will have my dead body. NOT MY OBEDIENCE!
real gandhi quotes:
What kind of victory is it when someone is left defeated?
Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works, whether we accept it or not. The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.
Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yieldto the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.

Question: Did you pause the movie to record the quote, or maybe memory bank it for your blog? Former: that's discipline, Latter: that's amazing.
Thought: an eye for an eye. Some teachers indicate that this ancient concept was not to be taken as literally as translated in English. Something more like "The value of an [eye/tooth/life] if an [eye/tooth/life] is lost." And the value was sometimes calculated differently on whether the lost [eye] was an incidence of premeditation v. accidental.
