"The very essence of democracy is that..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.”

“Let us remember that we are all Indians eating Indian grain and salt, and living on the dumb Indian masses.”

“Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.”

“Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.”

“We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.”

“The real safeguard of democracy is education.”

“It is not because a part of the government is elective, that makes it less a despotism, if the persons so elected, possess afterwards, as a parliament, unlimited powers. Election, in this case, becomes separated from representation, and the candidates are candidates for despotism.”

“The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.”

“Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented; each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.”
