"I mistrust a devoted evil-hater, for his impulses are not just negative, they are doubly negative, and he becomes a dogmatist. The main think he will want to do is to destroy: first the evil institutions and men he hates, then also those like me, who, seeing things as more complicated than that, would restrain his zeal to destroy." --George P. Elliott
"Killing a man is murder unless you do it to the sound of trumpets." --Voltaire
