Death Penalty Cases

Famous quotes containing the words death, penalty and/or cases:

    I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me,
    I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    ... in all cases of monstrosity at birth anaesthetics should be applied by doctors publicly appointed for that purpose... Every successive year would see fewer of the unfit born, and finally none. But, it may be urged, this is legalized infanticide. Assuredly it is; and it is urgently needed.
    Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
