I didn't think too much of killing individual people. I use to think of killing the human race sometimes.

Charles Starkweather

Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all.

Peter Singer

I am interested in the possibility that we are going to be wrong in the same way that history has indicated that mankind always is. It seems as though the history of ideas is the history of being wrong. And to me, that is a kind of continuum. It's a continual path that shows we don't always know something, but we're always shifting to a path that makes us feel more comfortable in the moment, even if that shift is wrong, and a new shift is destined to happen again.

Chuck Klosterman

The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

A saint serves others, knowing that the more one serves, the greater the opportunity for the Spirit to sanctify and purify.

Russell M. Nelson

I do think that people get really emotionally involved in the TV shows that they love and I think that is fantastic. Of course they are going to have opinions. The other thing is that people project onto their television shows. They see a character and layer on many traits that are actually their own or their idea of what that character is.

Lisa Edelstein

The main objection to killing people as a punishment...is that killing people is wrong

Auberon Waugh

Sometimes sports serves as a reprieve from politics, and sometimes it serves as an extension of it.

Clint Smith

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good, bad, it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good, more good would happen.

Andrea Corr

Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?

Holly Near

In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine.

J. William Fulbright

You know, not every good book needs to be a movie, or a television series, or a video game. There's great work in those mediums, of course, but sometimes a book should remain a book. I still believe nothing tells a story with the richness and complexity of a good novel. When people say they think a book would make a good movie, they say this sometimes because, if it worked, they already saw all the images in the movie theatre that is in their brains. And sometimes that is the way it should stay.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

No dictator can last forever. History shows that in the end, people around the dictator bring about change. Of course, a lot of high-ranking officials don't want change because they want to keep power. But there are other good people who want change. I believe they are waiting for the chance.

Lee Hyeon-seo

The beauty behind killing someone who no one thinks you're willing to kill is, of course, that you throw people out of their comfort zone. And that's good because you want people to be on the edge of their seats.

Michael Loceff

Sometimes what we deem a failure at the time it happens actually serves to foster a change within us that creates an even greater success down the road.
