What barrier is there that love cannot break?
— The Story of My Experiments With Truth
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
Where this quote comes from
Gandhi published this in Young India, the English weekly journal he edited, on 21 May 1925. Just before it he writes that a principle is worth nothing unless it is wholly good, and that he holds to nonviolence because it alone serves the highest good of humanity, in this world as well as the next.
