1963 by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Quote

 "The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

Notes

"Strength to Love" is a collection of sermons and writings by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. published in 1963. Since this book is copyrighted, I can provide a short excerpt to give you a sense of Dr. King's writing style and message:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction... The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."
