Today’s world is traveling in some strange direction. You see that the world is going toward destruction and violence. And the specialty of violence is to create hatred among people and to create fear. I am a believer in nonviolence and I say that no peace or tranquility will descend upon the people of the world until nonviolence is practiced, because nonviolence is love and it stirs courage in people.

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan

We'll walk together holding hands, and kiss in broad daylight, and love each other as much as we want to, and no one will ever try to keep up apart.

Lauren Oliver

Love is basic for the birth of a true society, while violence has in it the essence of anti-sociality. Love is positive, is eternal: violence is degeneracy, it is it's own destruction.

Toyohiko Kagawa

Broad daylight does not encourage the apprehension of horror.

Guy de Maupassant

I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.

Albert Schweitzer

I'm a bit of a wuss. I'll even watch, like, a Tom Cruise 'Jack Reacher' movie where, I mean, there's a lot of action, but the violence is no real violence, but I still hide my face because there might be violence.

Adina Porter

I got caught doing graffiti with my friend in broad daylight once.

Lil Tracy

Peter Mandelson is the only man I know who can skulk in broad daylight.

Simon Hoggart

Truth strikes us from behind and in the dark, as well as from before and in broad daylight.

Henry David Thoreau

He lit a lamp in broad daylight and said, as he went about, "I am looking for a human."

Diogenes

'Honour'-based violence is a form of domestic violence. Domestic violence is a broad category.

Deeyah Khan

The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.

Mahatma Gandhi

Terrorism is not something that is being conducted in dark corners of Pakistan. It's done in broad daylight.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

Short of coming to their senses and abolishing the whole thing, we might expect that the rules for daylight saving time will remain the same for some time to come, but there is no guarantee. (We can only be glad there is no daylight loan time, or we would face decades of too much daylight, only to be faced with a few years of total darkness to make up for it.
