Killing

Famous quotes containing the word killing:

“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
—E.M. Cioran (1911–1995)

“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour’s buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
