"Why is a petition for peace called a “violent"-Judith Butler, The Force of Nonviolence: The Ethical in the Political
"If the interdiction against killing rests on the presumption that all lives are valuable—that they bear value as lives, in their status as living beings—then the universality of the claim only holds on the condition that value extends equally to all living beings. This means that we have to think not only about persons, but animals; and not only about living creatures, but living processes, the systems and forms of life."-Judith Butler, The Force of Nonviolence: The Ethical in the Political
