Atonement

Famous quotes containing the word atonement:

“What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

“How much atonement is enough? The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
