“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

- As quoted in The Nobel Book of Answers, (2003) pg. 151
Originally “An-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye … ends in making everybody blind,” but there is no specific, original source available, though it is attributed to Gandhi and many, including his family, feel it authentic and in-line with his beliefs.
