"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate can't drive out hate, only love can do that."
This quote stood out because it had shown that if you are fighting for a change, doing the same thing the wrong way is not going to do anything. Unless you change what you are doing in a way that could benefit everyone.
