Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”

—Paul Fussell (b. 1924)

—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
