"Violence leads to more violence"
I believe this quote is definitely true, and I can prove it! William Shakespeare must have believed it too because it appears in Julius Caesar. When the conspirators killed Caesar, (in act 3, scene 1) they decided they would stab him many times. This is violent crime. Once Mark Antony knew what they had done, he wanted to start a war with them to get Caesar justice. The death of Caesar lead to a war, but it doesn't end there. When Brutus kills himself, (in act 5, scene 5) it is because many of his men had died and they were losing against Antony/Octavius's army. All of these things started with Caesar's death and could have been avoided if he hadnt been killed. Therefor, violence definitely leads to more violence.
