Popular quotes about Murder! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 63
I'm concerned about a better world. I'm concerned about justice; I'm concerned about brotherhood; I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

Don DeLilloIt was apparent to me that religion was an invented thing, a wish-fulfillment thing, a fantasy thing. It was much more real, dangerous, to accept that mortality was the end for you as an individual. As an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife, so if you're thinking of murder, if your subject is murder, then that's a physical act of absolute destruction because you're ending something, a body, that is unique. That person never existed before, will never exist again, will not be karmically recycled, will not go to heaven, therefore I take it seriously.
David CronenbergThe Negroes of America had taken the President, the press and the pulpit at their word when they spoke in broad terms of freedom and justice.

As for the MerjacksโฆI owe them a debt that no amount of violence on my part will settle. So, no. Nothing about killing him would bother me. (Nero)

As the September 11th Commission concluded, our country is safer than we were three years ago, but we are not yet safe
