“You say "society must exact vengeance, and society must punish." Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.”
The Last Day of a Condemned Man • VICTOR HUGO“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”
Studies in Pessimism • Arthur Schopenhauer“Their return home to their father and a good life was always so satisfying and splendid; I realized keenly that that was the only proper, good, and desirable outcome, but the part of the story that took place among the wicked and the lost was by far the more appealing, and, if one were free to state and admit it, it was sometimes actually a downright shame that the prodigal repented and was found again”
