Moralistic judgments encourage violence between people - Marshall B. Rosenberg
At its core, this quote means that when we use language that labels, blames, or diagnoses people's character, we're not communicating, we're attacking. And attacks, even verbal ones, are a form of psychological violence that begets more violence.

Our children do not need to be made to feel bad to learn what is good - Marshall B. Rosenberg
At its core, this is about decoupling discipline from shame. It means that a child's moral development doesn't have to be built on a foundation of guilt, blame, or feeling fundamentally "bad."
