I think the non-violent approach came from Martin Luther King Jr. and he studied the techniques and beliefs of Ghandi. Can't give quotes but just trying to point in the correct direction

You could also do your own research. Why don't we write the paper for you and just email it.
On a serious note, the issue of seeking (tahna -- longing, craving, wanting, seeking, pursuing, etc.) has a long history in both Buddhism and Hinduism. There are also variants within both schools of thought.
It is also interesting to note that South Asian nomadic peoples who predated the evolution of these two philosophies also lacked a word that equalled "wanting".
I have no intention of giving you specific quotes. Sorry.
East meets West in this century by combining "mindfulness" with Western scientific principles. The medical culture of North America, for example, has been considering the role of thought and mindfulness in the cause and treatment of disease.

Sounds like you are describing Buddhism, I would suggest investigating it to see what you think. There are some good video talks and such at http://www.bswa.org by Ajahn Brahm, a PhD in theoretical physics (Cambridge University, England) who became a monk. He's smart and funny, worth taking a look anyway. Good luck!

After spending eleven chapters of the book of Romans explaining God's incredible grace to us, Paul urges us to fully surrender our lives to God in worship: "So then, my friends, because of God's great mercy to us...offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him. This act of personal surrender is called many things: consecration, making Jesus your Lord, taking up your cross, dying to self, yielding to the Spirit. What matters is that you do it, not what you call it.
